Error: delete-material: still in use by fff_surface

      Hello;

      I am simulating a Species Transport model on FLUENT-2021R1 and need to delete Air which is amongst the fluid. Air is there as a default but I don't need it. When want to delete it from the Material list, the following error comes up on the Console.

      I'm wondering how I can deactivate the Air involved with fff_surface.

      Thanks in advance.

      Check your boundary conditions and the tabs on top part of their windows. One or more of your boundaries must be using the material you want to delete.

      Close, check the Cell Zones for material. You may have missed one: start with fff_surface. Also check the mixture template to confirm you didn't add air into it.

      Thanks, Sardar and Rob for your notes.
      In my model, although Air is amongst the fluid materials, it is not included in the air-mixture. I checked all the zones and surfaces, but with no success. Is there any way to make a report to see where Air is being involved?
      Thanks in advance for any advice.
