Logos Library full of garbage books... No idea how I got them... Writings of Julius Caesar, etc....
I have a lot of resources that are writings form ancient rome, ancient greece, the civil war, etc. all through a publisher, "Perseus"
I have absolutely NO interest in any of these titles. How do I permanently remove them from my library?
EDIT:

You can either hide them or email Logos customer service and ask to have the license for those resources removed.

You may find that they are more useful than you think. Many of the better commentaries will reference writings included in Perseus to show how specific biblical words and scenarios compare to the broader Roman culture.

These are all part of the free Perseus Classics Collection that a bunch of Logos users enthusiastically grabbed when it became available. Anything free must be good, eh? You probably got it then.
As you've discovered, you can hide these books, all at once, or selectively. I hid all the Greek and Latin ones, because I can't read those languages, but I kept the English translations, in case I need to look something up.
Note that it's much easier to hide multiple books than it is to unhide them. Currently, you can only unhide one at a time.
No idea how I got them

If you really don't want these resources, this is your best option.

Agreed. I too hid the Greek and Latin ones. Better to 'hide' than delete them. Plus as mentioned above, they may come in handy when referrenced by other resources. Also, there are some really cool older books about the Civil War, journals, news paper stories.
My advice as well - Hide don't delete.
mm.

...then why hide them?

There is no "delete." You can remove the license (which would be the entire collection), hide, or remove the download. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these... but the least useful solution is to "hide" them.

For Perseus, I only hide what I absolutely don't want. And don't download what I don't need now.
But after reading Rosie's comment, I decided to download the english. I had been using the greek/latin for usage examples.

When I didn't have as much space, I hid the Greek and Latin versions because I'm never going to put in the effort to read them in those languages. I kept the English version ones. Some of them are referenced surprisingly in biblical studies books in discussions about Mediterranean context. From time to time it's been mildly satisfying to hover over a reference and get the text to pop up from one of these: "Oh, interesting, I have that!" Now that space isn't an issue, some day I might go through the effort of unhiding the others.

They can now be summarized in English with Logos Pro, so not entirely useless any longer. The Latin resources can even be translated into English without Logos Pro.
