Deleting a CICS DA project

When you delete a project from CICS® DA you also delete the contents. You can delete the project and remove its contents completely from your computer, or you can delete only the project from CICS DA and leave the contents on your file system.

Important: Before deleting a project ensure that the project is in a unique folder. If the project was created in the default workspace then CICS DA created a unique folder automatically. However if you created the project at a different location you must ensure that the project is contained in a unique folder at that location. Eclipse will delete the folder and all the contents. If the folder you chose was one that contains other files, these files will be deleted as well as the CICS DA project files.

To delete a project from CICS DA but leave the contents in the file system, perform the following steps:

  1. Right-click the project in the DA Projects view.
  2. Click Delete on the actions menu.
  3. In the Delete dialog click OK. The project is deleted from CICS DA. The files remain in a folder with the project name, in your CICS Explorer™ workspace.

To delete a project from CICS DA and remove the contents from the file system, perform the following steps:

  2. Click Delete on the actions menu.
  3. In the Delete dialog select the Delete project contents on disk check box. The project and all its files are deleted from CICS DA and the file system.
