Jamal,

By right-clicking an individual replica, you bring up a context menu with the following options:

Rename???Renames the replica; type a new name and press ENTER.
Unregister???Unregisters the replica; if a synchronization version exists, it will also be removed.
View log???Opens the Replica Log; this option is only available for one-way and two-way replicas. The Replica Log is discussed in more detail below.
Refresh???Refreshes the replica; the latest state of the replica properties are displayed.
Validate schema???Validates the replica schema; a progress bar monitors the status of the validation. This automatically corrects a replica that contains invalid datasets. Datasets can become invalid if they have been renamed, deleted, or unversioned.
Properties???Opens the Replica Properties dialog box. Replica properties are discussed in more detail below.

Regards

Very much appreciated Anthony for the reply.

This means that the �??unregister�?� option is the one used to �??delete�?� replica from the database. Is that correct?

Is it possible to do this with a Python Script?
Cause i want to delete a replica registration name in a batch job.

Thx.

When you unregister a replica, be sure to do it on both ends; you need to 'cut the cord' between parent and child on the parent end and the local/ child end as well.

Many thanks Joe. Good to know this point.

If you perform the unregister on the replica as the replica owner (user) it works cleanly.  If you do this as any other user (even as SDE) it may not get deleted entirely, requiring the use of SDE command line to delete sync send versions.  That's been my experience at least...
