    Hi Chong,

    You can hide it by:

    1. Open Program Settings in Tools,

    2. Scroll down to the bottom where it says "hidden books"

    3. Drag the book from the library to that section.

    4. Restart Logos.

    That also shows where you can retrieve it should that become necessary i.e. right-click to unhide/delete the entry.

    As an alternative, you can hold the CTRL/Option key and right-click the book (or a selection) in Library and chose "Hide this book"/'Hide these books".

    Why would you want to delete something you paid for?

    Well, yes - it could be returned if inside the 30 day period (and not part of a set/collection), but Logos only provides a Hide option

    Note that the OP wanted to know "can I delete a resource permanently from my library".  We will wait to see if Hide is the solution ("Remove from device" would still leave it in Library) and if the OP intended to delete multiple resources.

    I know users who have hidden several thousand resources (about 10%). One thousand could have come from a free collection that bit several users badly a few years ago. My 10% comes from a much smaller total number of resources, and my reason ranges from:

    • i have no interest in early manuscripts/fragments of bibles (e.g. TENTGM)
    • especially when they overload Search resource menus
    • bibles/books that are superceded
    • other resources I am not interested in....[:D]
