Delete data in the RTDB. This directive gives the user a way to delete simple entries from the database. The general form of the directive is as follows: ``` UNSET [*] ``` This directive cannot be used with complex objects such as geometries and basis sets. Complex objects are stored using a structured naming convention that is not matched by a simple wild card. A wild-card `(*)` specified at the end of the `string ` will cause all entries whose name begins with that string to be deleted. This is very useful as a way to reset modules to their default behavior, since modules typically store information in the database with names that begin with module:. For example, the SCF program can be restored to its default behavior by deleting all database entries beginning with scf:, using the directive ``` unset scf:* ``` The section on [fragment guess](Hartree-Fock-Theory-for-Molecules.md#vectors-fragment-superposition-of-fragment-molecular-orbitals) has an example using unset on a water dimer calculation. The following example makes an entry in the database using the SET directive, and then immediately deletes it using the UNSET directive: ``` set mylist 1 2 3 4  unset mylist ```
