-In each target directory, one file (``pid_target``) and one directory
-(``regions``) exist.
+In each target directory, two files (``pid_target`` and ``obsolete_target``)
+and one directory (``regions``) exist.
If you wrote ``vaddr`` to the ``contexts/<N>/operations``, each target should
be a process. You can specify the process to DAMON by writing the pid of the
process to the ``pid_target`` file.
+Users can selectively remove targets in the middle of the targets array by
+writing non-zero value to ``obsolete_target`` file and committing it (writing
+``commit`` to ``state`` file). DAMON will remove the matching targets from its
+internal targets array. Users are responsible to construct target directories
+again, so that those correctly represent the changed internal targets array.
