How do I safely delete PadoGrid components like workspaces and clusters?

You can use the remove_* commands to safely delete any of the components. By default, the remove_* commands backs up the components before deleting them.

You can also manually delete them using the OS command, rm -r. PadoGrid workspace components are designed to be autonomous. They can be independently deleted, moved, renamed, altered, etc without affecting others. There is one exception, however. If you delete clusters in a group, then the group commands may not work properly.

The remove_* commands will not delete active components, i.e., a running cluster. Always stop the running components before deleting them.
