Delete unwanted knox topologies - CDP Private Cloud

Hello,

We have recently migrated from HDP to CDP 7.1.9 and new Knox topologies created as per Cloudera recommendations (cdp-proxy, cdp-proxy-api and cdp-proxy-token) are in place and configured. However, for some reason the topologies from HDP environment are also inherited and are visible on Knox UI, though are not active / used. 

Kindly advise on below points:
1. Is this a normal behaviour that Knox topologies get inherited OR we missed something?
2. How do we delete these unwanted topologies so they don't appear in Knox UI.
3. There are some topologies that we would still need, however, few services like Ambari and Zeppelin are not needed. How do I remove these from an existing topology?

Thanks
