Deleting Libraries From the Library Path Editor

To delete a library from the Library Path Editor window,

1. Choose File – Open in the library path editor form.
2. Select the file from the File Open form.
3. Click OK.
4. Click a library name you want to delete.
5. Choose Edit – Remove Library Definition.
   The library is deleted from the library path editor window
6. Choose File – Save As.
   Ensure that the cds.lib file has a check mark next to it in the Save As form.
   • Click OK.
   • Click Yes in the dialog box to overwrite the existing files.

The library data itself is not being removed here (from the file system), rather its entry in the cds.lib is being removed. This action will however prevent the library from being accessed from other tools that use the same cds.lib. Other tools, or sessions, can continue to use the same library data if they are using a different definitions file, or if the cds.lib is re-edited to again have access to the library data.
