Deleting Knowledge Base Files

You can remove anything that you (or another user) added to the Local knowledge base, but before deletion, make sure the component is not already included in a profile or scheduled job. Deleting a local file that will be referenced later will cause the job to fail. In this procedure you delete Post-actions, Pre-actions, Probes, Macros, Configuration files, or File Declarations.

To Delete a Local File

1. Log in with full permissions or as the admin user.

2. From the drop-down list in the tool bar, select a distribution-architecture.

   The Components list shows Local components applied to the selected distribution.

3. From the Components list, select the component you want to delete.

4. Do one of the following:

   • From the tool bar, click the Delete Local Component button.

   • Right-click the selected component and choose Delete.

   • From the Components menu, choose Delete.

     The Delete Local Component window opens.

5. Check the distributions from which you want to delete the component.

   You may leave it on the component list of some distributions and delete it from others, or delete it from all.

6. Click Apply.

   The Status column indicates when the change is done. You might have to wait until the console is updated with the changes; time depends on your local environment configuration.
