deletecomponents CLI command

Use this command to delete duplicate instances of components that are displayed on the Administration > Components tab. You can also use this command to delete instances of components that are uninstalled or removed from the deployment.

For example, if you perform a custom installation of the Collection Station on a computer and then you uninstall it and later reinstall it on the same computer, the Administration > Components page displays a duplicate entry for the Collection Station with the status green. In this scenario, you can run this command to delete the duplicate entry of the Collection Station.

This command only removes the component from the database; it does not uninstall the component. So if you restart the service for the TrueSight IT Data Analytics Server, the deleted component is again visible on the product UI.
