How to delete a DFF Context

Sometime I’m quite annoyed by the typo mistake when creating a DFF context. The DFF segment screen doesn’t allow deletion of context. Fortunately, Oracle has internal API to do such thing. Following is a sample.
–*******************************************
–* Delete a descriptive flexfield
–*******************************************
SET ECHO OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
DECLARE
l_application_id                NUMBER := 0;
l_descriptive_flexfield_name    VARCHAR2(100) :=  ‘FND_COMMON_LOOKUPS’ ;
l_descriptive_flex_context_cod  VARCHAR2(100) :=  ‘XFND_CLWW_PURGE_FOLDER’;
BEGIN
–FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXS_PKG –this package is for DFF
–FND_DESCR_FLEX_CONTEXTS_PKG –this package is for DFF Context
–FND_DESCR_FLEX_COL_USAGE_PKG –this package is for DFF Column useage
–When creating a new DFF Context, it will check the DFF Column usage if the context is already used.
–so when deleting a DFF Context, both the context and column usage should be deleted.
FOR c IN (SELECT application_column_name
FROM fnd_descr_flex_column_usages
WHERE application_id = l_application_id
AND descriptive_flexfield_name = l_descriptive_flexfield_name
AND descriptive_flex_context_code = l_descriptive_flex_context_cod)
LOOP

fnd_descr_flex_col_usage_pkg.delete_row(
x_application_id                => l_application_id
,x_descriptive_flexfield_name    => l_descriptive_flexfield_name
,x_descriptive_flex_context_cod  => l_descriptive_flex_context_cod
,x_application_column_name       => c.application_column_name
);
END LOOP;
fnd_descr_flex_contexts_pkg.delete_row(
x_application_id                => l_application_id,
,x_descriptive_flexfield_name    => l_descriptive_flexfield_name
,x_descriptive_flex_context_cod  => l_descriptive_flex_context_cod
);

–commit;
end;
