How to delete a personal book
Having come from WS, I can only wonder why I didn't try Logos years ago. Love it! I would ask for consideration to be able to delete "Personal Books" I have created. I tried to bring in a doc file from WS and accidentally put it in "Personal Books" and now its frozen there but all the references are linked back to WS and thus doesn't work. And I can't delete it.
So, in Logos 9, I would ask consideration be given to being able to delete a "Personal Book" (i.e. Tools->Personal Books) that I have created. Maybe there's a way already and I haven't found it?
Thanks

Other than uploading a replacement, is there some type of technical workaround to delete personal books?
Even altering a file on disk or something.
M J has given you the accurate if taciturn response.
I am wondering if you have a problem with the standard solution of uploading a blank replacement which is so troublesome that the nightmare of attempting to alter the 'files on a disk' would be a preferable option.
Of course altering files on a disk on a discrete machine is unlikely to affect the files held on the cloud.

Use the same PB but use a blank docx file, Build and then Upload (
Alternatively, you could change it to be a useful Header for your Prioritization list or another type of PB altogether (metadata and file) - but Upload it at least once.

But from wiki.logos.com (a good user-supported manual):
"The normal method of deleting PB’s is via the Personal Books tool (right click + Delete). It removes the book
from Library and from your Resources folder. However, the only way to remove uploaded books is to Hide them."

How long ago did they add that? (right click + Delete)
A while. But the issue goes all the way back to PBs introduction (6-7 yrs ago), when the tool-PB didn't delete the compiled PB. So, for a long time, you had to battle it, with Hide. Apparently, delete now deletes (99% per Carla), unless FL has got a hold of it (upload). Then, hide again.

I called the customer service to delete it from my Library, but the answer was it is not possible. Perhaps in Logos 9 may make it possible.
Blessings in Christ.
