  Delete or Modify Existing Logical System:
  
  If the existing logical system is no longer needed, you can delete it. However, be cautious as this may affect other configurations or connections.
  If you need to modify the existing logical system, ensure that you have the necessary authorizations and that it does not disrupt any ongoing processes.
