The root directory can be the command target, but only when specified with the -d and -r options. If you want to use a different version of the root directory, use the use command. You cannot cut the root directory without replacing it because a project must always have a root directory.
If you are working in a shared project and the directory is non-modifiable, the directory is checked out and associated automatically with the specified task. The directory is then checked in to the integrate state. You can disable automatic check-in by setting shared_project_directory_checkin to FALSE in your initialization file.
If you want to delete a project, see the delete command (ccm delete -p project_name-version).
You can start the command from any location if you use the Folder specification:
Windows: relative_path\object_name@project_name-project_version
UNIX: relative_path/object_name@project_name-project_version
The following is an example of the project reference form and how to use it to delete the root directory, ico/hi_world.c@final-1:
A message reports the object_version that was removed and which version replaced it.
