Manage Global Segments
Global segments are those segments in a descriptive flexfield that are available throughout the enterprise. These segments always appear regardless of the context. You can create, edit, and delete global segments for a descriptive flexfield.
Once you delete a segment, you can never recover it. So, you should delete only unwanted segments.
