> ### Deleting OpenEdge resources

> Note the following considerations before attempting to delete any OpenEdge resource:

> - Each Transaction Server, AppServer, and NameServer resource that you can monitor and manage using the Fathom Management console has an associated configuration definition stored in the `ubroker.properties` file. Before you can delete any of these OpenEdge resources from Fathom, you must first delete this source definition from the `ubroker.properties` file.
> - You cannot delete a remote OpenEdge resource when the container in which it resides is currently offline. The container must be back online before you can delete a remote resource of this kind.
> - Before attempting to delete an OpenEdge resource, it must be stopped. Therefore, you must ensure that the resource is stopped in Fathom and in Progress Explorer. For details about how to stop an OpenEdge resource, see the appropriate chapter in this guide.
> - Fathom cannot recognize specific requests, including resource deletions, while an AdminServer warm start process is occurring. For more details about initiating an AdminServer warm start and its implications for Fathom functionality, see the "Effects of an AdminServer warm start on Fathom" section.

> To delete an OpenEdge resource:

> 1. Ensure that the resource you want to delete is stopped in Fathom and in the Progress Explorer.
> 2. Delete the WebSpeed, AppServer, or NameServer instance. This action removes the configuration data stored in the `ubroker.properties` file.
> You can use either the Progress Explorer interface or manually configure the `ubroker.properties` file directly to perform this step.

> 3. Display the OpenEdge main page for the instance that you want to start. Refer to the "Accessing OpenEdge resource information" section for the detailed steps.
> The Delete Resource message displays above the OpenEdge main page as shown:

> 4. Click the Delete link. After you confirm your deletion, the Fathom Resource page appears.
> 5. Refresh the list frame; the resource instance that you deleted no longer appears in the list frame.
