Deleting an Inactive Boot Environment

Use either the Delete menu or ludelete. You cannot delete the active boot environment or the boot environment that is activated on the next reboot. The boot environment to be deleted must be complete. A complete boot environment is one that is not participating in an operation that will change its status. Use "Displaying the Status of All Boot Environments" to determine a boot environment's status. Also, you cannot delete a boot environment that has file systems mounted with lumount.
