The different ways to delete data in WMS makes it very easy to eliminate any portion or all of the data associated with a given model. One important thing to remember is that deleting in WMS does not cause the data to be permanently removed or erased from the hard drive, but rather eliminates it from core memory for a specific run of WMS.
