Deleting a Master Index Phonetic Encoder (Repository)

Once you define a phonetic encoder, you can delete it if needed. Use caution when deleting encoders once a system is in production. This can cause inconsistent match results. If you delete an encoder that is referenced by a phonetic encoding definition, make sure to modify that definition by referencing an existing encoder.
