2.5. Removing a Blog Post or a Page

To delete a blog post from your blog, run the blaze-remove command followed by an appropriate identification number:

blaze-remove id

To delete a page, add the --page (or -p) command line option:

blaze-remove -p id

For a complete list of available command line options, refer to Section 3.5, “blaze-remove”.

Warning

Be careful when using this command, as there is no easy way to take this action back. To prevent an accidental loss of potentially valuable data, run the command in the interactive mode by supplying the --interactive (or -i) option:

blaze-remove -i id
