Delete One or More Objects
Each row in a table view and each symbol in a map view represents an instance of the object type being displayed. For example, in a node view, each row of the table represents an instance of a node in your network.
Some NNMi users can delete object instances. For example, you might need to delete a node that is no longer being managed. See Delete Nodes for more information.
