Description	Deletes specified linear disk groups. This command applies to linear storage only. This unmaps and deletes all volumes in the disk groups and makes all the disks available. CAUTION:Deleting a linear disk group will delete all data it contains. NOTE:If you delete a quarantined disk group and its missing disks are later found, the disk group will reappear as quarantined or offline and you must delete it again (to clear those disks).
