KILLALL

## Name

killall — Deletes the specified objects from the current database and removes all references to them from all combinations in the database.

## Synopsis

`killall` [-n] {`objects`}

## DESCRIPTION

Deletes the specified objects from the current database and removes all references to them from all combinations in the database. Note that the objects are killed immediately unless the `-n` flag is passed. The `-n` flag causes the command to return a string of the objects that would be killed in a scriptable list format without actually killing them.

Use this command with caution. Killed objects cannot be recovered so keep a backup.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the killall command to delete specified objects and to remove all references to them from the database.

Example 1. Delete specified objects and all references to them from the database.

`mged>` `killall group1 region2 shapeb`

  Deletes group1, region2, and shapeb and removes all references to these objects from the database.
