what do you mean by "Delete cifs" ? Do you need to delete CIFS server, share ?

Yes, I need to delete a CIFS Server Share and then I need to reallocate space vacated on other cifs.

I am assuming you have this setup:
Cifs server A:
file system abc
you also have Cifs server B and you need to provision file system xyz or extend an existing file system ?

Actually I have Cifs Server A, Cifs Server B, Cifs Server C and Cifs Server D.

Thanks you for You Help.

I would suggest to spend a little bit time to learn the basics of the system to find out what you really want
Deleting a CIFS server or a share (different things) doesn't free up space
Freeing up space typically is done by deleting a file system or savvol

deleting a CIFS server will NOT free up space

ok, so i assume you are completely getting rid of server A.
1) delete all shares that belong to server A, you can use Navisphere/Celerra Manager or you can use Windows MMC to connect to the CIFS server and delete them (right click on my computer > manage > connect to another computer > enter DNS name of your CIFS server)
2) Unjoin CIFS server A from active directory, delete CIFS server A.
3) Delete file system(s) that were used by CIFS server A. If you were using AVM, the space is released back into the pool and you can use it to either create new file systems or extend existing ones.
4) You might want to also reclaim the unused network interface that was assigned to server A

Unless this is a lab system – make sure before deleting a file system that it is really the right fs
Deleting a file system will destroy all the data in it and there is no undelete or Recycle Bin if you made the wrong choice.
Depending on where you need additional space you don’t always have to delete a file system.
If all your CIFS servers are on the same DM or VDM can access each fs – so you could also create additional shares on the
other CIFS servers pointing to the file system that still has free space
