Deleting a Forest from a Host
You can use the Admin Interface to delete a forest. There are two levels of forest deletion:
Delete configuration only, which removes the forest configuration information, but preserves the document data.
Full Delete, which completely removes the document data and the configuration information for the forest.
Note
The forest cannot be deleted if it is still attached to a database. Also, you can delete the configuration information on a Read-Only or Flash-Backup forest, but you cannot do a Full Delete on such forests.
To delete a forest, follow these steps:
Click the Forests icon on the left tree menu.
Decide which forest to delete.
Click the forest name, either on the tree menu or the summary page.
The Forest Configuration page appears.
Click the Delete button on the Forest Configuration page.
A confirmation message appears.
Select either Configuration Only to delete only the configuration information, or Full Delete to delete the configuration information and the document data.
Click OK.
Deleting a forest is a “hot” task; the changes take effect immediately.
