Hi, Christian:
When you “kill” a system (which is what you did), you remove it from most visibility (for example, when people click on your name in this forum, a pop-up window will appear showing your other system, but SFT1 - the system you killed - will not appear).
However, the system is not _completely_ invisible, and still exists in our database. This is part of the C2 Philosophy - that we believe system creators should not be able to completely walk away from aborted systems.
But we try not be annoying or religious about this: “killed” systems are generally not shown on the site (they don’t appear in the Grid, or in any of the C2 Lists, etc.)
