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.
