Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Need to know what "set aside" means in California.

Original charge:

Felony - Poss. Marijuana Intent to Sell.

Court documents state:

"Felony set aside"

Number of charges: 1

Count 1 charge: Misdemeanor - maintains any place for the purpose of unlawfully selling, giving away, or using any controlled substance.

So I was not convicted of a felony.

Question what exactly does "felony set aside" mean in california? Does it mean the charge was vacated or thrown out and i was recharged with a new charge?
