Question: why can we not Delete a PBB resouce?

One of the topics on PBB is that there is no DELETE option.
Maybe one of the reasons why is that there is more going on, in the background ,then just deleting the file.
Things like Meta-data? [[What else?]]
When we are given 'inside' information on why things are as they are we feel better. [[Hint hint]]
By the way when I want to get rid of a PBB what I have done is remade it using a DOCX file of dummy.docx. That just says ‘deleted file’. I edit the PBB. Rename it to Dummy00x where I replace the 00 with how many unused old PBB books I have. I replace the file with the dummy.docx file and rebuild. When I want to add another PBB I just use the spot of the highest Dummy00x one. [with proper name and file]
Question: Does that 'goof'up' the Logos system??

If you don't Upload the book to the Logos server you can permanently remove it by:
- Deleting it in the PB tool (right click the title when compacted)
- Hiding the book from Library, and then Unhiding it.
(if uploaded the 'unhide' action will cause it to be downloaded, but it will remain only in Hidden Resources as with your Faithlife resources)

Not at all! But you might goof if you use the wrong '00' number...

One of my first steps is to rename dummy00x to a real name but thanks for the concern.
