We requested this a few months ago. We were told there would not be any solution any time soon. But, one that they would do when they get to it is to give the ability to hide them from reports.

This would be a great feature to implement. Gainsight Home filters are also showing inactive values and they can still be clicked on even though they’ve been marked as inactive in Data Management.

I found two related suggestions that we should upvote!

Acknowledged Idea:  Option to not display inactive picklist fields even if grayed out

Under Consideration Idea:  Option to delete MDA dropdown list items

We are a new site and we’re working through cleaning up data from the initial setup. Even if it’s not feasible to check dependencies for deleting options it seems like hiding options in reports and dashboards would give a much cleaner user experience.
