Delete elements permanently from SCM (post-accidental share)
Hi,
I've accidentally shared in Jazz SCM some directories and files which were the output of a build. I've since added them to the ignore list and deleted them from my local filesystem, but as you would expect whenever I do a fresh load they appear again.
I've seen the right click Team > Delete from Repository ... menu option at the top level of a project, but I want to delete sub directories and contanied files. There does not seem to be an option for this. I've also looked at the SCM command line tool and this too does not seem to have an option.
Is it possible to achieve what I'm trying to do and how do I go about it?
TIA
Cheers, Andrew

Adding them to the ignore list means it will ignore any changes
(including deletions) to those resources. What you want to do is remove
them from the ignore list. Then the deletion will be picked up and you
can commit it, thus deleting it from your jazz workspace.

Cheer Dmitry. I hadn't realised this was the case. Thanks.
