The "delete" command deletes a class, and there's no command for
deleting only a filter.
Although there is an API for that (qcmd_delete_filter()), it is not
supported by the command parser for a historical reason. (a filter
used to have no name so that it couldn't be specified by a command ).

Do you have a compelling reason to delete only a filter?
