I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I don't have to sift through all these questions.  I may be a bit OCD, but I'd like to delete some of the freebies since I'll never read them.  Swiping doesn't work, so can somebody please tell me how to edit/delete titles from my library.

Thanks.

    From the device itself, books can be removed from downloaded status, but cannot be removed from the online status. If your desire is just to see downloaded resources, you can use the syntax local: If you really want to delete the resource permanently, you need to "hide" them through L4/L5. You will maintain the resource license, but it will be removed from ALL installations (desktop & mobile). 

    Side question: You wouldn't happen to be a "Fighting Irish" fan, would you?

    Thanks.  I am fluent in three languages...but what you wrote clearly isn't one of them!  lol

    I am indeed a Fighting Irish fan, in spite of my Scots heritage.

    Sorry. I'll try again. 

    There is no way to remove resources from your list of library books from the device itself. The only way to remove items from the list is to use the desktop application (Logos 4 or Logos 5). Do you have Logos (4 or 5) installed on your Mac or PC? If you don't, you can download the software engine for free.

    The process on the desktop application is called "hiding" (but I prefer to call it "archiving"). Once you "hide" a resource on the desktop application, this preference will sync to any application using your library, including the mobile app. HERE is a link to the wiki about hiding resources.

    Let me know if you need any more help.

    Does Lake Ann mean anything to you? I know a Mike Porter, but it has been a number of years since I have seen him and was wondering if it was you.

    I got it!  You're amazing!  Thanks a million. I knew there had to be a way to "archive" that stuff.

    Lake Ann means nothing to me, I regret.  There may be many "Mike Porters" out there, but only one of me.  Thanks again; you have been immensely helpful and patient. 

    Cheers!
