You can use CVS to ensure that when you delete a method or process
element, the dependent files are appropriately version-controlled.
These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products,
guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
- Open the Authoring perspective.

- Use the tree browser to choose the element that you want to delete.
- Right-click the element and click Delete.
- In the Send an Edit Notification to CVS window, click Yes to
lock the needed files. If a file is currently being edited by another user,
a window opens with the option to continue or not. To avoid needing to merge
the files later, click No and stop deleting that element.
- Click File > Save.
- Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective.

- Make sure that the element that you deleted in Step 4 is listed
with other dependent files.
- Select the top-level folder for your project and click Commit.
