Syntax
delete_data(id=None)
Description
The data set, and any associated structures - such as the ARF and RMF for PHA data sets - are removed.
Examples
Example 1
Delete the data from the default data set:
>>> delete_data()
Example 2
Delete the data set identified as 'src':
>>> delete_data('src')PARAMETERS
The parameter for this function is:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| id | int, str, or None, optional | The data set to delete. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` . |
