Synopsis

deleteAttrPattern([allPatterns=boolean], [patternName=string], [patternType=string])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

deleteAttrPattern is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

After a while the list of attribute patterns could become cluttered. This command provides a way to remove patterns from memory so that only the ones of interest will show.
