- cd to
twiki/data and then to the web where the topic is located. Rename / delete the topic ( name.txt ) and repository file ( name.txt,v ). Hint: Instead of deleting a topic you could create a Trash web and move topics/repositories to this web. (A future version of TWiki might have a Trash web.)
- Edit the
.changes file and rename / delete all occurrences of the topic. Note: There might be several lines of the topic.
- cd to
twiki/pub and then to the web where the topic is located. Rename / delete the topic attachment directory if present.

- Be aware that other webs might link to the web you want to rename / delete. Search each web for links to this web, i.e. in each web search for
Obsolete. (including the period, this is to find topics like Obsolete.SomeTopic ). Take measures if necessary.
