Deleting Address Object FortiManager

[FortiGator]

Hey all - running into an issue deleting an address object that was used in an IPSEC configuration. I was able to delete the tunnel completely successfully, but as last part of clean up was to remove the address object I created to reference in the tunnel configuration. When I go to delete the address object, I get an error stating "Failed to delete object due to the following reason: used - object is copied to VDOM xxxxxx-efw.root." Any idea how and where to remove the reference from the root VDOM? I do not have any per device mappings for this object so not sure where the reference is coming from. Any help is appreciated.

I will give this a try, thanks for the feedback. Will mark as solution if it works, but wont be until next week before I get to this.

Additionally, the objects are not removed from FortiManager - if you decide you need to use them later, you won't have to recreate them when creating new policies and they will installed on the next push with an object requiring them.
