Delete personal book

Having gained the Geneva Bible as part of a Logos package, I want to delete a personal book copy I previously had. But I can't see it listed in my Personal Books any more, so I can't delete it.

Personal Books generally show up in alphabetic order (ignoring definite/indefinite article), so I expect to see it after the Fs but before the GEO below:

It's not there. But it does show up in my Library window:

Suggestions?

Logos 7.0.0.0074 on Windows 10 (64 bit).

I've never considered that.

Start by opening the Personal book version, and then click the info button in the top corner. At the bottom you can find the file name.

You can physically delete that file (I would just move it to the desktop in case things go horribly wrong).

Then load Logos and if necessary reindex. (I hope that isn't really necessary.

Why not simply Ctrl-RightClick in the libtary and "Hide Resource"? This does the same. And "Rebuild bible index" would be much faster for a deleted bible than a full reindex - but not necessary, I concur.

You can then unhide it to remove all traces (except that it will be downloaded if it had been uploaded via the PB tool).

A personal book will be in the Personal Book Index. rebuild personal index is all that is necessary

Thanks to TCBlack, NB.Mick, and Dave Horton.

After closing Logos and deleting the file, Logos took care of the reindexing when I opened it again.

Appreciated.

Reindexing doesn't happen automatically when you remove a personal book, so it happened for another reason!

Thanks Dave.

After reading your reply, I've initiated a rebuild personal index to make sure it did happen. Thanks.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering is there a way to rebuild/clean the resource folder after the book has been removed from the Library. I keep finding .lbspbb files as leftovers after deleting the book via PBB tool.

My guess is rebuild personal book index will only rebuild the index on files but will not remove the files themselves....or am I missing something? tnx

What I do is change the name to DUMMYxxx where xxx is the count of dummy files I have. Change the text file to Dummy.docx where Dummy.docx is a file with only one line "this is not a real book" And compile the book. Then when I create a new real PBB I just over write the highest Dummyxxx. Started doing this when PBB was new. And I never upload a PBB as I only have one computer. I convert the docx file to a PDF file and copy that to my tablet when I want to use the file on the tablet.

Not sure that I understand...maybe my question was off....aftre I delete a PB book from the library, it's gone from the list. But the file remains in the Resource folder...not sure if there's a way to clean that one up.
