remove inverter pairs from design?

hello people, In velocity tool, I need some help with removing inverter pairs from the design. deleteBufferTree only seems to work on buffers. when I use the -footprint for this option with inverters it does not work. So does anyone know how to remove inverter pairs from the design? Thanks, -Tony

    Prior to placement you can perform optimizations of your netlist using setOptMode. The -reclaimArea option for exemple is described like this:

    -reclaimArea {true | false}

    Controls whether timing optimization creates additional space by downsizing gates or deleting buffers, while maintaining worst slack and total negative slack.
    Default: false
