DESTROY_PARTITION
Removes a partition from a container. Marks the area reserved for a partition as
available. The available area is then consolidated with any adjacent free areas.
CAUTION: Data contained on a partition is lost when you enter the
DESTROY_PARTITION command.
You cannot destroy a partition that has been assigned a unit number. You must first
enter the DELETE unit-number command to delete the unit using the partition.
After all partitions are destroyed, the container from which they were created must be
initialized.
