3.2.7.3 Deleting a section or setting
You can delete an entire section, or a single setting,
from a selected configuration file. Under DELETE existing item
on the Configuration Manager Action page, choose one of the following:
Delete section from one file
|
When you choose to delete a section, the Configuration
Manager allows you to inspect and optionally edit the content of the
section before committing to its deletion.
|
Delete setting from one section
|
First you choose a section, then you pick the setting,
then you choose the file from which you want to delete the setting. Do
not use for named macros; macro sections do not contain settings.
|
When you delete a section or a setting, the Configuration
Manager does not remove the item from the file, but instead deactivates
it by commenting it out. This allows you to restore the item later. If
you really want the item expunged leaving no trace, the Configuration
Manager allows you to edit it; at that point you can simply erase the
item.
Click Apply action; the Configuration manager
switches to the Section page, the Setting page, or the
.ini file page, depending on the action and the available sections
or settings.
Note: The Configuration Manager
will continue to show the deleted item until you return to the Action
or Category page and make another selection.
