+**//In a template//**: if you delete the children of an element in a template, those sub-elements will no longer appear in that template whenever it is accessed. However, you can always [[howto:addelement | add a sub-element]] when you need to.
+**//In a record//**: if you delete the children of an element in a record, the sub-elements will only disappear from that record. Once you close the record and re-open it, the sub-element will re-appear in the template that you have chosen.
+If you would like to delete both a parent element and its sub-elements, then use [[howto:deleteelement|Delete an element]] instead.
