    The simplest approach would be in command line, using cleartool rmlabel

     cleartool rmlabel -rec YOUR_LABEL yourDirectory

    Note: this is for ClearCase V7.1+ only, not CC7.0.x or CCV6.x, and not for CCRC (ClearCase Remote Client)

    With older ClearCase versions, you had to do (see technote swg21126736):

    # Unix syntax
cleartool find yourDirectory -version "lbtype(YOUR_LABEL)" -exec 'cleartool rmlabel YOUR_LABEL"$CLEARCASE_XPN"'

# Windows syntax
cleartool find yourDirectory -version "lbtype(YOUR_LABEL)" -exec "cleartool rmlabel YOUR_LABEL\"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\""

    Note: you could remove a label using a GUI, but as described in technote swg21146450, this is a file-by-file operation only!

    version tree with label Remove label

    (Not very practical if you have hundreds of elements — files and directories — to process…)
