To remove a view

Attention: Removing a view permanently deletes all of its contents, including view-private files and derived objects. Be sure that you understand what precautions you should take before removing a view to ensure that information is not lost.

You can remove a view using the command line or Rational® ClearCase® Explorer

Although the command to remove a snapshot view and a dynamic view are similar, the arguments are different. To remove a view using the command line, perform the following actions:

For a dynamic view, use the command cleartool rmview -tag view-tag to remove the view.
For a snapshot view, use the command cleartool rmview snapshot-view-path to remove the view.

You can also remove a view using Rational ClearCase Explorer. If Rational ClearCase Explorer has a shortcut for the view to be removed, perform the following procedure:

In Rational ClearCase Explorer, click Views, then right-click the shortcut for the view and click Remove View.
In the Rational ClearCase Explorer window, click Yes to continue.

If Rational ClearCase Explorer does not have a shortcut for the view, perform the following procedure:

Perform one of the following actions:
- Click Start > Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational ClearCase > Rational ClearCase Explorer.
- In Rational ClearCase Explorer, click Toolbox, then click Base ClearCase > Remove View.
In the Remove View window, select the view and click OK.
