Name

killrefs — Removes all references to the specified objects from all combinations in the database.

Synopsis

killrefs [-n] {objects}

DESCRIPTION

Removes all references to the specified objects from all combinations in the database. Note that the references are removed immediately unless the -n flag is passed. The -n flag causes the command to return a string of the objects that would be affected in a scriptable list format without actually editing them. See also the killall command.

Use this command with caution. Killed objects cannot be recovered so keep a backup.
