Deletes a test description from the Digital Test Manager library. Format DELETE TEST_DESCRIPTION test-expression [/qualifier...] "remark"
1 – Restrictions
o You cannot delete a test description if it belongs to a group. Use the REMOVE TEST_DESCRIPTION command to remove a test description from a group. Use the SHOW TEST_DESCRIPTION/GROUPS command to display the groups to which the test description belongs. o Do not delete a test description that is part of an existing collection. If you delete a test description that is part of a collection, you may see error messages when you issue other Digital Test Manager commands. For example, if you review a collection from which you have deleted a test description and its associated benchmark file for a noninteractive test, you will see a message indicating that the result description contains errors and you will be unable to examine the benchmark file for this result description. If you delete the test description and benchmark file for an interactive test that uses a screen comparison, you will be unable to examine any of the files associated with the test.
