Deleting Library or Cell Files

To delete library-level or cell-level files from the Library Manager:

1. Select the file you want to delete in the Files in Library or Files in Cell list box.
2. Choose Edit – Delete.
   The Delete Library Files or Delete Cell Files form appears.
   The selected file appears in the Delete list box.
   
   
   If the file is selected from a combined library, then it does not appear by default in the Delete list. It appears in the Don’t Delete list and its name indicates the physical library that it belongs to.
   To delete a file, move it to the Delete list, the file gets deleted from the physical library to which it belongs. If the file is found in multiple libraries, the Don’t Delete list displays an entry for each library, you can select the ones you want to delete. However, if the file is part of the top-level combined library, then it does appear in the Delete list and all the other files in the library (or cell) are displayed in the Don’t Delete list.
   For more information about combined libraries, see Creating and Displaying a Combined Library.
3. To delete additional files:
   1. Select a file from the Don’t Delete list box.
   2. Click the left-facing Move arrow to move the selected files to the Delete list box.
      You can double-click a single item in the Don’t Delete list box to move it over to the Delete list box. You can select multiple items by Shift-clicking, Ctrl-clicking, clicking and dragging, or using the Select filter.
4. Select the desired option from the Options field.
5. Click OK and then click Yes to perform the specified delete operation.
