storage delete command

Usage notes

A good practice is to retire a variant before you delete it.

If the storage file system is unavailable, and you still want to delete the variant, use the advanced option (-a) with the command. At the Suppress Creation of Marker File? prompt, enter y to delete the variant when the storage file system is unavailable.
