BTW, one should not have to manually edit files created by NB just to exercise an option that the IDE offers but for some strange reason has suddenly disabled. I have been a NB user since version 5.0 actually just before we got the GUI designer. I have loved it, even with its occasional quirks and burps. Some of these latest "features" are getting a little tiresome though.

Look in the project.properties file in the nbproject folder and delete those references.

    Surely NB has not suddenly decided that I can no longer remove
    libraries from an ANT project. There must be something wrong here
    that displays but disables that option from any libraries on any
    projects.

    The libraries are defined in a properties file in the nb project

    can future proof it.

        I have an old Java 1.8 project that needs a few updates. I
        cannot remove
        any of its libraries. The option is grayed out and Delete key
        does
        nothing. Just tried and this seems to be the case with all my
        projects.
        Cannot delete any libraries and most projects are using Java
        11, if that
        makes a difference. This comes up because I made a change in
        one of the
        libraries which did not appear to work so I tried to debug
        and found
        that the new code is skipped over in debug as if it were not
        there. I
        thought I would remove and reinstall the library but cannot.

        I have tried restarting NB a couple of times with no change.
        How can I
        remove old libraries?
