We are using Azure with Sitecore 8.0. I want to remove few config files(for e.g-all config files under ListManagement folder) which is already deployed in CD server. How to delete/disable config files under ListManagement folder using azure deployment?

In your System area of the master DB you should have items in roughly this location:
/sitecore/system/Modules/Azure/<Environment>/<Location>/<Farm>/<WebRole>/<AzureDeployment> based on the template
/sitecore/templates/Azure/Deployment/Azure Deployment On the item, go to the Excludes section. To exclude specific files use the Deployment Type Exclude Files or Exclude Files fields e.g:
App_Config\ListManagement\Sitecore.ListManagement.config; Or to exclude an entire directory use Deployment Type Exclude Directories or Exclude Directories e.g.:
App_Config\ListManagement; 
- Thank you for responding. Just reconfirming that this modification will remove all configuration related to List Management which are currently merged in CD serverarpana– arpana2016-10-26 11:26:32 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2016 at 11:26
- See my edits above. I found there are other fields for excluding whole directories which is probably what you want to use (I'm not 100% sure that
Exclude Filessupports wildcards).Matthew Dresser– Matthew Dresser2016-10-26 11:36:45 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2016 at 11:36 - 1Thanks. We tried "Deployment Type Exclude Directories" using App_Config\ListManagement; and it worked :)arpana– arpana2016-10-26 12:47:01 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2016 at 12:47
We removed the List Management configuration by adding all List Management specific .config files to our project and replacing the content of the config files with the following:
<configuration> <sitecore> </sitecore> </configuration>
