[basex-talk] deleting nodes/elements permanently from BaseX

Hello,

I am new to BaseX and am doing basic manipulations, but can't delete nodes/elements permanently from a Database.

So these are my databases:

list

name              Resources  Size   Input Path   ---------------------------------------------- Example           1          34928               Experiment_Owner  3          4651                Store             3          14015               TestbyIrfan       0          4541                Users             299        86299               Workon            1          4753

6 database(s)

open Users

XQUERY /

<user>   <fullname>null</fullname>   <username>user590</username>   <password>3b36431be670500f759191b1cc27adc3</password>   <experiments/>   <email>email</email>   <role>ROLE_BEE</role> </user><user>   <fullname>null</fullname>   <username>user591</username>   <password>18b944141c4104d3a577516e7aa429</password>   <experiments/>   <email>email</email>   <role>ROLE_BEE</role> </user>

afterwards to delete  the users I tried commands such as:

XQUERY delete node db:open("Users")//user        or

XQUERY for $v in /user where $v[contains(username,"user")] return  delete node $v/user

then the records disappear, the command  XQUERY / doesn't show the records of users,  however when I do a command  list,

the size of the database and the number of resources don't change.

I tried to do an Export like:  EXPORT /root/BEES_CENTRAL/BaseXData/data  but no change....

So my question is how can I commit the changes made by Delete to disk permanently ?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Irfan
