Deleting a Cell

To delete a cell from the Library Manager:

1. Select the cell you want to delete.
2. Choose Edit – Delete.
   The Delete Cells form appears.
   The selected cell appears in the Delete list box.
   
   
   If the cell is selected from a combined library, then it does not appear by default in the Delete list. The cell appears in the Don’t Delete list and the cell name indicates the physical library that it belongs to. If you want to delete the cell, move it to the Delete list. Also, the cell gets deleted from the physical library to which it belongs.
   If the cell appears in multiple libraries under the combined library, the Don’t Delete list displays an entry for each library, the library name is displayed with the cell name to identify the library, so that you can select the ones you want to delete. However, if the cell is physically in the top-level combined library, then it does appear in the Delete list and all the other cells that are in that library are displayed in the Don’t Delete list.
3. To delete additional cells, you need to select a cell from the Don’t Delete list box and click the left-facing Move arrow to move the selected cells to the Delete list box.
4. Select one of the following Options:
   • Delete Local And Inactivate From DM System: Deletes a local copy of a cell and the copy in the design management repository.
   • Delete Local Only: Deletes only your local copy of a cell (not the checked in copy in the design management repository).
5. Click OK and then click Yes to perform the specified delete operation.
