I have a file at the root level of project which is to be deleted. If using ClearCase I would delete the file locally and then check in the parent directory of the files location, this would delete the file from the clearcase remote repository. To delete a file in RTC source control this option does not seem available ?

    No need to tweak with the parent directory (as you had to with ClearCase).

    Simply remove the file from your disk (within your local workspace or sandbox).
    Ask RTC to refresh that sandbox in the “Pending Changes” view, and you will see that file in the unresolved section with a “-” on its associated arrow.

    See this example as an illustration (which shows deleted files, part of a changeset checked-in):

    deletions

    Checkin, then deliver (after associated this changeset with a Work Item).

    Any user making or updating a repo workspace on that same Stream won’t see that file anymore.

    That would be the equivalent of cleartool rmname (in that you can get back that file later if you need it)

    Removing a file version from the referential (cleartool rmver) is possible only with RTC4: “Permanently delete content associated to a file change“
