Error Deleting Library Entries? 1

[golyg]

hi all,
I am using an existing app, for a db conversion program, to perform a new conversion. There are some data pipelines, etc. that I do not need.
I am attempting to delete them but I am recieving an error message:
"Delete of library entry failed. Continue?"

Nothing is open, just the library painter.

Thank you, I relize that this may be a sub-par question.
ps. I am using PB 6.0.

You could try a number of methods to get round this:

1) Optimize the library
2) Move the defunct objects to a different library (PB will delete them).
3) Move/Copy the valid objects to a new library, then destroy the old library, rename the new one back to the old library name.
4) Export all the required object and re-import them into a new library, the destroy and rename.

Needless to say, back up your original library first!

Cheers.

One more thing - can you create objects in the library? If not, maybe the permissions on the library are set to read only.

Cheers.
