Removing a ClearCase view

Remove a ClearCase view when it is no longer needed.
Before you begin
Before you can remove a ClearCase view, you must connect to the ClearCase server that supports it.
About this task

Removing a ClearCase view removes its local copy area and its supporting directories on the ClearCase server.

Note: When you remove a ClearCase view, any view-private files or directories it contains are deleted from the local computer's file system. If the view contains any view-private files or directories that you want to preserve, copy them to another location before you remove the view.

To remove a ClearCase view:

  1. In the ClearCase Navigator view or the ClearCase Details view, select the view that you want to remove.
  2. Search the view to be sure it contains nothing of value. Click the ClearCase search icon icon on the ClearCase toolbar to open the ClearCase Search dialog box. Search the view for checkouts, hijacked files, and view-private resources. Resolve the checkouts by checking them in or canceling them. Resolve the hijacked files by converting them to checkouts or canceling them. If the view contains any view-private resources that you want to preserve, copy them to another location.
  3. Click the remove view icon icon on the ClearCase toolbar or right-click the view name and click Remove ClearCase View on the context menu.
  4. Click Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to remove the view.
Results
The view is removed, with its local copy area and its supporting directories on the ClearCase server. Any files or folders in the copy area that were in use when the view was being removed remain in the copy area, and you are prompted to remove them manually.
