Hi
Can anyone please help me. I understand I can't remove a merged dwg from from an nwd but is there a way to remove a dwg from an nwf without hiding it. There must be a way to completely unreference the file from an nwf.
Thanks
Anyone have any updates for this thread? I have run into the same problem. Simply right clicking in the selection tree does got get me a remove/delete option. I am using 2014/2015 Manage (both versions have same issue)
OK, I did notice that once a second item is appended, you get a delete option from right click but you can only delete one. Once you delete that one, the option disappears for the remaining item.
I'm currently experiencing this exact same problem and none of the suggested solutions have resolved the issue on my end.

I have also tried creating a brand new nwf and appending a few dwg's, however the issue persists even in a new file.
What I don't understand is why this is even an issue. Being able to "delete" or remove files is a common and necessary function of software and yet here I am unable to do so.
I'm not sure if you really have a bug or if it is a matter of user interface
I start a new NWF, append some DWG
Then in the selection tree, select a DWG (do not click on the + sign, click on the filename)
Then in the right mouse menu, there is Delete
OR
When the file is seleted, the "Del" key in the keyboard works.
Hello,
I'm having the same problem.
I have to delete the item - because if someone unhides it later it (by using unhide all) it will only confuse them.
I tried all of the suggestions above.
Thanks.
Best,
Hayat
Thank you for your fast reply!
Sorry, I just started learning how to use this tool. Should I always be working in a NWF-file?
That depends on your work process. In most cases you would be working with the "raw" models (Revit, Plant3D, etc.) in an NWF because you need up-to-the-minute content. If you are only responsible for reviewing the models somebody else may be publishing the NWD files because they know precisely which models should be present, proper colors, and so on.
To be able to right-click and have 'Delete' as an option, you can not have the Clash Detective window open. You have to access the files you want to delete through the Selection Tree only.
