The code from your subscriber’s org is your subscriber’s intellectual property. We
advise against keeping it around after you’re done debugging.
Force.com IDE is in a
maintenance-only state. We still provide support for the product through our official
channels, but updates prior to October 12, 2019 will be only for critical security
issues that arise. On October 12, 2019, we will no longer provide support or updates of
any kind for Force.com IDE. On that date, we will also begin archiving documentation and
removing download links for the product. We recommend that you start migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual
Studio Code or one of the great tools made by our partners. For more
information, see The Future
of Salesforce IDEs on the Salesforce Developers Blog.
When you close the Force.com IDE, we prompt you to delete your subscriber’s code. If you choose
to not delete the code then, be sure to delete it later.
Close files before you delete them. Otherwise, you get an error message.
