Why would you want to delete a product that comes as part of the base; for 
example, BDT and is either ENABLE or DISABLED via IFAPRDxx?

 
 
Thanks,

Never manually delete a product without going thru SMP/E. I'm not familiar 
with BDT so lets say you wanted to delete C/C++. They are dependant upon 
LE. The next time an LE PTF has a COREQ for a C/C++ PTF, you will be 
screwed. Using SMP/E function delete is the only recommended method to 
delete a product.  As someone mentioned earlier, you should check for 
cross product dependencies but if you did miss something, then you can 
just re-install the product.
