Device name prefixes, device deletion?

The Question is:

 
Is it possible to delete an NLP device without
restarting the system?  If so, how?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Terse questions beget terse answers.  The answer may not be to the
  intended question, as the question can be subject to interpretation.
 
  The Wizard is not familiar with any device using the NL name, other
  than the null device NLA0:.  Device names that are not registered
  should use (only) the letter J or Q as the first character of the
  device name.
 
  The Wizard will assume that the NLP is to a device (and to a device
  other than the NLA0: null device), and that the particular device was
  not created with the cloned UCB option.  If these assumptions hold,
  then the answer is "no".
