How to destroy detached screens

[adelaide_mike]

Hi

I have 5 detached screens, and wish to remove/delete/destroy some.  
How should I do this?

Thanks

When you run command "screen -list" you will get similar output:

Your inventory:
        23866.foo      (08/16/2009 02:30:20 PM)        (Detached)

Where 23866 is the PID of the screen-process, which you can kill.
Remember that this will also kill the processes inside those screens.

You can also destroy those screen by running "screen -x 23866" and
typing ctrl+a+k or exiting from them normally using ctrl+d.

See the screen(1) manpage, the -wipe option.  Or you can just kill(1)
the process id.
