Hi Narbik,
                I did what you suggested and finally I am able to delete it
as I shut all the ports on the other switches, but I still wonder where the
vlan info was being received by the local switch while all its ports were
too shut down???????????

Also thank to Mark Jackson and all of you experts for your support.

thanks
Syed
