=======

This article demonstrates how you can delete an unwanted ATSWeb 2.0 database.

MORE INFORMATION
================

ATSWeb does not provide any way within the interface to delete any unwanted
database. You can delete the ATSWeb database by deleting the entire database
directory in the physical hard drive where the database is located, but this
will only delete the physical database: a reference to the database will still
exist in ATSWeb. You need to follow the steps below to delete any unwanted
database reference:

1. Locate the ats.usr file in the ATSWeb directory, and open this file in
   Notepad.

2. The following settings appear in the ats.usr file:

   [App]
   MainWinZoom=2
   MainWinTop=393
   MainWinLeft=723
   MainWinHeight=311
   MainWinWidth=499
   DataPath1=c:\atsweb\servers\..\shardata\ 
   DataPath2=c:\test
   DataPath3=
   DataPath4=
   ...

3. To delete the reference to the database, remove the path next to the DataPath
   keyword and save the file. For example, to delete the database reference to
   'c:\test' directory, remove the path information.
