  22 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  23
  24 The B<pts delete> command removes each entry specified by the B<-nameorid>
  25 argument from the Protection Database. Deleting entries affects other
  26 parts of the system in various ways:
  27
  28 =over 4
  29
  30 =item *
  31
  32 Deleted users and groups still appear on access control lists (ACLs), but
  33 are listed by AFS UID or GID rather than by name, because there is no
  34 longer an associated name to which to translate the ID. To remove these
  35 obsolete entries from ACLs, use the B<fs cleanacl> command.
  36
  37 =item *
  38
  39 Deleting a user or machine's entry removes it from the membership list of
  40 any group to which it belonged.
  41
  42 =item *
  43
  44 Deleting a group entry removes it from the membership list of any user or
  45 machine entry that belonged to the group, and also increments the
  46 group-creation quota of the group's creator by one, even if the creator no
  47 longer owns the group.
  48

  50
  51 To remove a user or machine from a group without actually deleting the
  52 entry, use the B<pts removeuser> command.

  55
  56 =over 4
  57
  58 =item B<-nameorid> <I<user or group name or ID>>+
  59
  60 Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, the name or AFS GID of each
  61 group, or the IP address (complete or wildcard-style) or AFS UID of each
  62 machine entry to delete. It is acceptable to mix users, machines, and
  63 groups on the same command line, as well as names (IP addresses for
  64 machines) and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a hyphen to indicate
  65 that it is negative.

  73 The following example deletes the user entries C<pat> and C<terry>:
  74
  75    % pts delete pat terry
  76
  77 The following example deletes the Protection Database entry of the group
  78 with AFS GID -215.

  80    % pts delete -215
  81
  82 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
  83
  84 The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group to delete user
  85 and machine entries. To delete group entries, the issuer must either own
  86 the group or belong to the system:administrators group.
