Solution 1:

1. Open the Library Manager.  There are two ways to do this:
     a. In the Project Manager, select Applications ->

     b. In the Schematic Editor, select File -> Project
	Libraries, then click on Lib Manager.

2. In the Library Manager dialog, select the library from
   which you wish to delete the component(s).

3. Select Library -> List Objects...

4. In the List Objects dialog box, select the component(s)
   you wish to delete (use CTRL-click to select multiple
   components), then click the Delete button.

5. You will be asked if you want to manually confirm each
   deletion.  If you are sure that you want to delete all the
   selcted components, you can uncheck the checkbox.  Click
   Delete, then click Continue to begin deleting components.

6. If you checked the Confirm Each Object Deletion box, you
   will be prompted for each selected component.  Click Yes
   to delete the component, or click No to abort deletion of
   this component.

7. Click Close, then select File -> Exit.  If you called the
   Library Manager from the Schematic Editor, click Close to
   close the Libraries dialog box.

8. In the Schematic Editor, make sure the library listing is
   current by selecting File -> Update Libraries.
