Removing a group or site in Harvest / Grafana /Graphite

We are using NaBox for our implementation of Harvest / Grafana/ Graphite. It's really a wonderful tool and easy to use and implement.

Quick question:

How do I remove old systems and groups from Harvest / Grafana / Graphite?

I see the data here via the shell:

/opt/graphite/storage/whisper/netapp/perf/sitename

/opt/graphite/storage/whisper/netapp/poller/perf/sitename

Simply deleting the directories above though causes Grafana to stop serving pages. Is there another method?

Thank you,

Adam P

I deleted said directories and restarted the appliance and all was well.
