Name: delete stack
Type: command
Syntax: delete <stack>
Summary: Removes a <substack> from a <stack file>, or removes a <main stack> from memory.
Synonyms: clear stack
Introduced: 1.0
OS: mac,windows,linux,ios,android
Platforms: desktop,server,web,mobile
Example:
delete stack "Expressions"
Parameters:
stack: Any valid stack reference.
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.
