In this blog post I am going to take you true the steps of removing a created Attribute from a Management Pack. This is not possible using the System Center Operation Manager Console.

- On the "Browse for Folder" page, select where you want to export the folder and click "OK"
- Start the "MP Author Console", click "Open" and open the management Pack that you just exported
- In the "MP Author Console ", on the "MP Component" pane, select "Discoveries"
- In the "Mp Author Console" select, the "Attribute Discovery" that you want to remove and click "Delete"
- On the "Delete Selected Discoveries" popup click "Yes"
- In the "MP Author Console", on the "Mp Component" click "Language Pack"
- Select the name of the Attribute that you created and click "Delete"
- On the "Delete selected Language Packs", click "Yes"
- In the "MP Author Console", click "Save" and close MP Author
- Start the "System Center Operations Manager Console"
