Users often encounter the situation in which they would like to erase a department or team, but they are not able to do so. This happens, even though the system states that no employees are assigned to the department/team:
Settings > Company > Departments

In this case, Teams and Departments cannot be deleted, because employees with the status inactive are still assigned to them. In order to solve this, in the employee list the columns status, team, and department can be added. Furthermore, inactive employees can be displayed by setting the status filter correspondingly, and the information regarding the department or team can be removed or edited. This way, no employee will be assigned to the department or team anymore, and it will be possible to delete it.
