Hi,

I need to unregister a variable after using (the following statement is meaningless, it just gives you an example), but I could not find a module called unregister or clear, or reset the register variable, please advice.

- name: register something  
register: temVariable  
when: temVariable is not defined

- name: check temVariable  
shell: runsomething  
when: temVariable is defined

- name: unregister temVariable  
unregister: temVariable  
when: temVariable is defined

Thank you.
