How to delete not necessary tools from the local Galaxy instance?

How to delete not necessary tools from the local Galaxy instance? I want to use Galaxy as the backend for WGS microbe data processing and leave only few genome aligners and variant callers and add some R scripts and Python to represent a report tables. Need an advise on how to do that. Thx.

Just uninstall anything not needed and/or remove it from the tool panel by modifying the xml files.

As an aside, you probably meant to ask this on the Galaxy site.

Thank you. Should I change tool_conf.xml.main file and remove not applicable tools and no more changes are required? And may I run the resultant Galaxy instance as a frontend on a conventional web hosting?

You'll want to edit tool_conf.xml and shed_tool_conf.xml, assuming you don't have anything in local_tool_conf.xml that needs to go.
