deleting conditional build expressions

I have created a project in RH7 and it has expanded to become our company's single source for user documentation. This is a good thing. However, as I've added information for different audiences, I've ended up with a number of conditional build expressions that I no longer need. I'd like to delete them so I don't have to search through a long list on the WebHelp General screen.
I've searched the forum and don't see any information about deleting conditional build expressions (tags, yes; expressions, no). Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the forum

Make a backup first.

I believe you then delete the PSS file and reopen the project. If not add a build tag called redrabbit or something else unique and create a build expression using it. The do a multi file find and replace operation on all file types.

It's late here and tomorrow I can probably lay my hands on the answer. So option two is to wait until then!

You need to delete the PSS file and any layout that contains the build expression(s) you want to lose.

Dear Mr. Grange,

Forgive me for resurrecting such an old post. In your reply you state: "any layout that contains the build expression). By 'layout' do you mean the topics?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

No problem about following up old posts when they are relevant, indeed it adds to the information available for the next person along.

Layouts are the different output options as shown below.
