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.

Go here

and find "This file contains everything necessary to defined the user interface of the tool"

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.
