Deletes a test description from the Digital Test Manager library.
Format
DELETE TEST_DESCRIPTION test-expression [/qualifier...]

o You cannot delete a test description if it belongs to a group.
Use the REMOVE TEST_DESCRIPTION command to remove a test
description from a group. Use the SHOW TEST_DESCRIPTION/GROUPS
command to display the groups to which the test description
belongs.
o Do not delete a test description that is part of an existing
collection. If you delete a test description that is part
of a collection, you may see error messages when you issue
other Digital Test Manager commands. For example, if you review
a collection from which you have deleted a test description
and its associated benchmark file for a noninteractive test,
you will see a message indicating that the result description
contains errors and you will be unable to examine the benchmark
file for this result description. If you delete the test

uses a screen comparison, you will be unable to examine any of
the files associated with the test.
