You can use the Delete from Group utility to delete database components associated with a specified group. You can delete a member or members and all associated SCLM accounting information, including accounting records, build map records, cross-reference records, and intermediate records. You can further specify whether you want everything deleted, only build outputs, only accounting information and build map records, or only build map records. You can also specify that nothing actually be deleted but a deletion report be generated.

The Delete from Group utility does not delete members that have no accounting information.

Figure 1 shows the panel that is displayed when you select Option 9, Delete from Group, from the Utilities panel.
