Delete files
To delete files from the depot, you open them for delete by issuing the
p4 delete command, then submit the changelist in
which they are open. When you delete a file from the depot, previous
revisions remain, and a new head revision is added, marked as “deleted.”
You can still sync previous revisions of the file.
When you issue the p4 delete command, the files are
deleted from your workspace but not from the depot. If you revert files
that are open for delete, they are restored to your workspace. When you
successfully submit the changelist in which they are open, the files are
deleted from the depot.
Example Delete a file from the depot
Bruno deletes vendor.doc from the depot as follows:
C:\bruno_ws\dev> p4 delete //Acme/dev/docs/manuals/vendor.doc
//Acme/dev/docs/manuals/vendor.doc#1 - opened for delete
The file is deleted from the client workspace immediately, but it is
not deleted from the depot until he issues the p4
submit command.
