The reason your saved perspectives and displays disappear when we upgrade the 
version of AWIPS, 
is because that information is actually not saved in caveData (it's not saved 
locally to your 
machine, unless you use the "Save Display Locally" option).  That information 
is saved to our EDEX
server, and when we update versions of AWIPS we usually update to an entire new 
EDEX server as well.
The good news, we still have the old server and may be able to recover your 
information.  We just
need to know the username and machine name on the computer you are using.

I'm fairly certain the "Delete Display" menu is grayed out because you don't 
currently have any
displays saved on the new EDEX server.  Once we bring your old information 
over, or you create and
save a new display from your machine, then that option should be restored.

Thanks!
