Delete a Borehole from the Database
Borehole Manager | Edit | Erase Borehole

Each borehole in a RockWorks project is stored as a record in the borehole manager database file. Use the Borehole Manager's Edit | Erase Borehole tool to remove a borehole record from the current project database.

Feature Level: RockWorks Basic and higher


To remove an existing borehole from the current project, follow these steps:

  1. If necessary, access the project folder that contains the well data you wish to remove.
  2. Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
  3. Recommended: make a backup of the current database using the File | Backup Database menu option.
  4. In the pane to the left, click on the name of the borehole that you wish to remove from the current project database. For example, to remove the borehole named "DH-5", click on that borehole’s name.
  5. Select the Edit | Erase Borehole command.
  6. The program will prompt you, "Delete all the information for "borehole name"? The data is not recoverable."
  7. ! If you choose OK, the data in the selected borehole record will be removed from the project database.

! Note that any existing grid (surface) or solid (plume) models you've already created using the now-deleted borehole will NOT be automatically updated to reflect the data change. You'll need to re-generate models and graphics.
