I had added a bunch of new files into a new changelist using p4 add command. I shelved the changelist for review purpose (swarm server picks the changes from shelved changelist).
During code review, I was told to remove a file from the changelist. I did the following steps to achieve the same
First, unshelve the changelist
p4 unshelve -c (cl-number)
Reverted the file that I had added previously
p4 revert (file)
Perforce says "....../file - was add, abandoned"
Again, shelve the files back
p4 shelve -f -c (cl-number)
Now, if I see p4 change (cl-number), the file that I deleted is not visible in the files mentioned below. However, if I do p4 describe -s -S (cl-number), the removed file is still visible and not being removed from shelve.
What should be done to remove a specific file in a shelved changelist?

You can Ctrl+left-click multiple files, then right-click on one of them and select Move to another changelist... . You can also choose to Submit... the files, and when the dialog box appears, their will be checkboxes next to each file. Uncheck the files you do not want to submit.
You need to re-open d. txt and give it that change number using p4 reopen -c <change#> d. txt . Then run p4 shelve -r to update the shelved files.
Shelving in Perforce allows users to store and share file snapshots on the central server. This can be useful for allowing others to review your work, moving your progress to another workspace, validating builds on multiple platforms, and preserving your work so that you can work on another project.
You need to run p4 shelve -d -c (cl-number) (file).
