Deleting a Profile (optional)

This section is provided as reference in case you need to delete a WebSphere base or Network Deployment profile.

1. From a command prompt, change to this directory:

   cd Z:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin

   cd /u01/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin

2. To delete a profile, issue this command:

   manageprofiles delete profileName <profile_name>

   ./manageprofiles.sh delete profileName profile_name

   where profile_name is the name of the profile to be deleted.

   If the profile_name is valid, and the command successfully executed, the system returns this message:

   INSTCONFSUCCESS: Success: The profile no longer exists.
   

   When you delete a profile, the profile and its directory are deleted, except for the logs directory. You must manually delete the logs directory and then delete the profile directory.
