Deleting skins

By using both the Outline and Project Explorer views, you can delete a skin and its artifacts from a portal project.

Note: Before you delete a skin, you should make sure you know its exact folder name. This information is available in the Resource Root field of the skin's Properties view. Once you delete a skin, you cannot reverse the operation.
