## Description

The spacewalk-channel-remove completely removes channels from a SUSE Manager server.

By default systems are not unsubscribed from the specified channel(s). If systems are currently subcribed, they will be listed. To unsubscribe these systems, simply use the --unsubscribe option.

## Options

-h, --help

- Display the help screen with a list of options.

-l, --list

- List all channels on the satellite.

-u, --unsubscribe

- Unsubscribe any systems subscribed to the specified channels.

--justdb

- Don't remove any files from the file system. Instead only delete metadata from the database.

-c`CHANNEL`, --channel=`CHANNEL`

- Delete the channel with the specified label. May be used multiple times to specify multiple channels.

-a`PARENT`, --channel-with-children=`PARENT`

- Delete the channel with the specified label and its child channels. May be used multiple times to specify multiple parent channels.

--force

- Delete packages from the satellite even if the package is in more channels than what is specified. (Not Recommended)

-p, --skip-packages

- Do not remove the package metadata or the files from the filesystem. (Not Recommended)

--skip-kickstart-trees

- Do not remove kickstart trees from the filesystem.

--just-kickstart-trees

- Remove only the kickstart trees for the channels specified from the database and the filesystem. This option can be used only in combination with --skip-kickstart-trees. Any other options will be discarded.

--skip-channels

- Remove only packages from channel not the channel itself.

## Examples

- `spacewalk-remove-channel --list`
- `spacewalk-remove-channel --channel=rhel-i386-as-3`
- `spacewalk-remove-channel --channel-with-children=rhel-i386-as-3`
