What is the result of the "delete" command in Junos CLI?

The "delete" command in Junos CLI is used to permanently remove configurations from the device’s candidate configuration. When you issue a delete command, the specified configuration elements are eliminated, and this change is reflected in the candidate configuration immediately. This means that the configuration is not just hidden or archived; it is entirely taken out of the running candidate configuration until you commit the changes.

This command is essential for managing and modifying configurations effectively, allowing administrators to clean up and streamline their device settings by removing unnecessary or outdated configurations. When the changes are committed, they become part of the operational configuration running on the device.

In contrast, options that suggest temporary hiding, archiving, or prompting for confirmation do not accurately describe what the delete command does. The delete command is straightforward in its function of erasing configurations without temporarily saving or archiving them.
