Hi gang,

There was a time when you could delete settings by saying:

DELETE FROM civicrm_setting WHERE group_name = "com.civifirst.phonenumbervalidator"

But now that there's a change to the schema, removing group_name, I wonder if there's a better way that would work on previous versions as well (up to, say, 4.4)?

There are lots of commands to set values and add them.

Is a function in core to delete settings?

I can see two options:
1) Add a delete setting function to core (that does an internal lookup of the domain id) then call that for 4.7 installs
2) Updating all extensions to do checks for versions, that then either call this function or do the same as above

(Deleting settings is important when uninstalling extensions!)
