Note

Microsoft Advertising will automatically generate similar remarketing lists for pilot participants. You cannot create or edit the similar remarketing lists. If you delete the source remarketing list, then the similar remarketing list will also be deleted. If a similar remarketing list is associated with an ad group, then you cannot delete the source remarketing list. See SimilarRemarketingList for more details.
