Administration Guide › Skeleton Files › Deleting a Skeleton File

Deleting a Skeleton File

You can delete a skeleton file even if user IDs were created based on it, because these user IDs do not reference the skeleton file after they are created. However, you cannot delete a skeleton file if directory managers are authorized to use it, so you must first remove a skeleton file from each directory manager before you can remove it from the system.

To delete an existing skeleton file, enter the ADMIN SKELETON command with the name of the skeleton file to delete and the ERASE option. For example, to erase the file SKELFILE SKELETON, enter the following command:

vmdirect admin skeleton skelfile (erase

There is no need to confirm the deletion.
