I have deleted two PB's in recent weeks, using the right-click Delete in the tool:-

  • both were removed from the tool
  • one was removed from Library but not deleted from the Resources folder (Logos 9.8)
  • the other remained in Library  (Logos 9.9 SR-1)
  • I had to manually delete both from the Resources folder
    • most users won't know how to do this when it is removed from Library
  • neither PB had been Uploaded.

    Do you have logs? Also, can you consistently recreate this? Do you happen to also have the source files and know what metadata you used?

    As removed in 9.9 SR-1, it was an Ancient Manuscript "My Philo - English",  Subject:Philo--English,  Language:Greek.

    I was experimenting with this. Previously lang:English and compiled as Ancient Manuscript, then I added the bible milestone and compiled as a Bible.

    5850.My Philo - English.docx

    I will attempt to repeat if you have no success.

    Have similar problem - when building a bible came the error message that a new construction failed. But a restart brought no improvement - still the new build failed.
    So I deleted the personal book - but it still appears in the library - but not in the listing "personal books".

    I have the same experience, deleted books from PB tool are removed from the list, but they still stay in the library window, where you can open them as a resource with no problem. If i remove unlicensed resources they are removed from the library results, but as soon as indexing is done they are re-added, since the source file hasn't been deleted from the Resource folder.

    This will happen if they have been Uploaded.

    As in  the command delete unlicensed resources? What indexing? That is not done for these resources?
