Warning This command permanently deletes all generations of a selected file or files from the CMS Library.
The Remove command should be used with extreme caution because once an element is deleted, all generations of that element are deleted permanently and cannot be restored. Note that if a file is physically present in the directory, it will still be present following deletion from the CMS library. Its status in the CMS Filesystem becomes Locally Added.
To remove a file from a
CMS library
Caution The default choice is Yes.
Remark
Optionally, enter a descriptive comment. Comments are saved in the library
revision history without the file.
Prompt for Input on Each Successive File
If you are removing more than one file and you want to add different comments
for each file, select the Prompt option. In this case, the delete
sequence, beginning with the confirmation message, is repeated for each
file.)
Notes
- When you select a form node
, you are actually removing two files in the source control library: the .form file and a corresponding .java file.
- The CMS library still retains the version history of deleted files that are physically present in the CMS Filesystem. You can see this history by applying the History (Show History) command.
Once the command completes, the files appear in the Explorer with a plus badge and a [Locally Added] status. Only the local versions of the file are left.
