Deleting An Array

The Delete Array <4> Menu option allows for deletion of disk array assignments.
This is not the same as deleting data from the drives themselves. If you delete an
array by accident (and before it has been used again), the array can normally be
recovered by defining the array identically as the deleted array.

WARNING: Deleting an existing disk array could result in its data loss.
Make sure to record all array information including the array type, the
disk members, and stripe block size in case you wish to undo a
deletion.
