Some areas of Configuration are relatively safe to explore. (Although before deleting anything we advise checking for Connections.)
But for Chart Templates, Functions, Connections, Shortcuts, Asset Information, Sensors, Risk Charts, Risk Models, and Event Types: here be dragons, and we advise caution. Before you experiment in these areas, we suggest that you take a database backup.
(Note that this menu has changed during the 6.3 development cycle – older 6.3 builds may have menu items in a different order.)
