If you don't care about the data, you should be able to do the following. I
included references to the documentation (page numbers are for AIM*version 3.1
doc, B0193YL-D)
1) Run histsave and save the configuration of the instance (section 2, pg 69-70)
2) Edit the file to remove points you don't need or want (all lines between the
creation of points).
3) Delete the instance of the historian (section 4, pg 115-6)
4) Run batchcfg to load in revised configuration (pg 71-72)
