No, I mean "delete the unit test, because it has served its purpose, and now it is waste" as a way to help educate the developers not to write their unit tests in arrears.

Unit tests written in arrears — if written at all — have poor coverage characteristics, and do not guide design (hence are not TDD).

Integration tests are not a substitute for unit tests.
