@Pete and Pete:
Yes this method is to remove all of an object from the map level. Once they are gone and you resave the map, that object should be remove from the library used objects listing on the left.
So if you have an existing map and you put in a building, save the map, then decide you dont want that building, then by deleting that object, saving the map should remove it from the used library list on the left.
Hope I made this a little clearer.
