Remove
Use this dialog box to remove a resource from HCL VersionVault.
When you remove a resource that is under VersionVault control, the parent directory of the resource is checked out (if it is not already), the name of the element is removed from the VersionVault directory namespace, and the parent directory is checked in. Note that the element has not been deleted: it has been uncataloged from the new directory version, but it still cataloged in the predecessor version of the directory.
Note: If you remove a resource that
is view-private, the resource is deleted from the file system.
