 How to Rename or Delete a Web 
 Changed: 
<
<  
 It is advisable not to rename the TWiki.Main web.
  Be aware that other webs might link to the web you want to rename / delete. Search each web for links to this web, i.e. search all webs for Obsolete. (include the period, this is to find topics like Obsolete.SomeTopic ). Take measures if necessary.
  Edit the TWikiPreferences topic and rename / delete the web from the WIKIWEBLIST variable.
  Edit the TWikiWebsTable topic and rename / delete the web from the table.
  Telnet to the TWiki installation.
  cd to twiki/data and rename / delete the web directory.
  cd to twiki/templates and rename / delete the web directory if present.
  cd to twiki/pub and rename / delete the web directory if present.
 
>
>  
 NOTE: Think twice if you intend to rename the TWiki.Main web, since many files point to it. If you do rename it, you'll also have to change all occurrences of Main to the new web name - this includes, for example, the user signatures across your entire TWiki site. (On the other hand, if the variable %MAINWEB% is used throughout, you have no problem.)
  

 Prepare your site: Other webs may link to the web you want to rename or delete. Search each web for links to the target web: search all webs for Abouttochange. - include the period to find topics like Abouttochange.SomeTopic. Make changes as required.
  Edit the TWikiPreferences topic: Rename or delete the web from the WIKIWEBLIST variable.
  Edit the TWikiWebsTable topic: Rename or delete the web from the table.
  Connect to the TWiki server: Login via Telnet or FTP.
  Edit the data files: Go to twiki/data and rename or delete the web directory.
  Edit the template files: Go to twiki/templates and rename or delete the web directory if present.
  Edit the public files: Go to twiki/pub and rename or delete the web directory if present.

  TWiki Administration
-<
<
+The current implementation of TWiki is designed to never forget, that means all topic changes are under revision control and you can't delete or rename topics. 

Nevertheless there are cases where you wish to delete topics. TWiki requires administrative stuff like that to be done on the shell level, so please ask your TWiki administrator to do that for you. A future version will allow administrators to do that on the browser level.

 How to Rename or Delete a Topic 
 

 Go to the topic you want to rename / delete.
  Find out the back-links to this page from Ref-By . Modify other topics if needed.
  Telnet to the TWiki installation.
  cd to twiki/data and then to the web where the topic is located. Rename / delete the topic ( name.txt ) and repository file ( name.txt,v ). Hint: Instead of deleting a topic you could create a Trash web and move topics/repositories to this web. (A future version of TWiki might have a Trash web.)
  Edit the .changes file and rename / delete all occurrences of the topic. Note: There might be several lines of the topic.
  cd to twiki/pub and then to the web where the topic is located. Rename / delete the topic attachment directory if present.
