How do you delete a home from OUI's list

This is I hope relatively generic.
I install databases and clients on different machines (Sun Servers, windows clients). The OUI (v2.x.x) keeps the list of homes and appears to have no method of removing a home from it's list. If we upgrade (and change the name of the home to match the version) or for some reason want to change the location of the installation, the OUI does not get rid of the "old" home. It in fact will recreate the directory where the old stuff resided if we delete it by hand at the OS level.
Is there in fact an option in the OUI (maybe some alternate keystroke) to allow removal or renaming of a home?

Thanks.... been there, done that many times. I know the drill.
I hoping for an "official" method (something actually a part of the OUI). This is close to being a bug. If you mistype a HOME name, you're stuck with it forever.
Since i've got multiple platforms to deal with, knowing how to 'trick' the system on Windows is not very helpful on UNIX.

  • How do you delete a song from a playlist in iTunes?

    I feel stupid asking this question but how do you delete a song from a playlist? right clicking doesn't give a menu option to do it, and neither does the file menu. The highlight/delete option doesn't work either.
    Also, I've ended up with several copies of the same songs in my library . Can i delete the excess tracks in one go without highlighting them?
    Thanks,
    Dom

    Option-delete will remove a selected track from a playlist AND the library. Delete will just remove the track from a regular playlist.
    Yes, you need to highlight all the songs you want to delete. Sort your library by song title. This should put all the dups together for easy highlighting and deleting.

  • How do you delete a file from an iPad?

    How do you delete a file from an iPad?
    There are 2 versions of a document file on my iPad.
    I want to get rid of the obsolete one.
    The iPad Users Guide does not describe how to delete a document file.
    This is very frustrating!

    The iPad Guide is for the iPad itself, not other apps you may install.

    How do you delete a program from a Mac?

    Which program are you asking about.   Some apps do not delete via the trash, though as Axeman suggests, it's your first choice.  
    Incidentally, it is wise never to install an app or program that you haven't got uninstall details for.

  • HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?

    How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
    If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing.

  • How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

    How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac. 

    Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
    In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
    You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

    Pictures in Photo Library are synced from your computer and must be deleted from there, followed by re-sync.  Photos in Camera Roll can be deleted from your iPhone directly (tap arrow in top right, tap the pictures you want to delete, press the Delete button).

  • TS2755 How do you remove previous recipients from a message list? When I begin to type a number, I have numbers appear that are no longer in use, or are incorrect. They are not in my contacts list either.

    How do you remove previous recipients from a message list? When I begin to type a number, I have numbers appear that are no longer in use, or are incorrect. They are not in my contacts list either.

    I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
    Best of luck.

  • Had prepaid visa on my account and now want  to use Itunes card and will not work how do you delete visa card from my account

    please help how do you delete visa from my account? I put in Itunes card and it shows my 15.00 credit but cannot download tunes. What do I need to do? I think visa card is issue

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.
