You can remove a table from your database diagram. Removing a table does not alter your database. The table and its relationships to other tables continue to exist in the database.

  2. Right-click the table and choose Remove Table from Diagram from the shortcut menu.

    If the table has unsaved changes as a result of edits you made in the database diagram, a message prompts you to save the table before removing it.

The table is removed from your diagram but it continues to exist in the database.
