Description

Use the delete stack command to delete a substack, or to purge a main stack from memory.

The delete stack command has different effects, depending on whether the stack is a main stack or a substack.

If the stack is a main stack, the delete stack command removes the stack from memory. (Any unsaved changes are lost.) However, it does not remove it from the user's system. To delete a main stack, use the delete file command instead.

Warning: If the stack is a substack, the delete stack command deletes the stack from memory, which causes it to be deleted permanently the next time its stack file is saved.
