Deleting From the Configuration Database

You can delete entries from the configuration database. For example, to delete a user, enter:

CM Edit> delete user
User name:

If you wish, you can enter delete user followed by the name of the user you wish to delete from the configuration database. For example,

CM Edit> delete user smithj

If you try to delete an unknown entity, a message is displayed to advise you that the entity has not been found in the database.

When you delete an entity that is referenced by another entity, then the reference to the deleted entity is removed. The following table shows the entities for which any references are removed when a referenced entity is deleted.
