How to delete datasets created in Datastage parallel extender jobs?

From the Director utility "Data set management" or from the command line using "orchadmin rm <dataset>". Deleting the dataset descriptor file won't delete the data files but just cause them to be orphaned and use up disk space.

Data Set Management is also available from the Designer client's menu.

The command line is "orchadmin rm {dataset descriptor}". The documentation describes the "orchadmin" command and its options.

Technically, the command line is where you run the orchadmin (and many other) functions. This might help if the concept is new to you.
