How to delete materials.......

hey all…

I’m working on a scene and I have a list of materials defined …
Now I decided that I just want to throw away some of them, so I’ve tried pressing the X button… the material however stays in the list… I can’t get it to disappear!

Anyone know how to do this ?

thanks.

make sure it has a 0 next to it, then save and re-open the .blend

it isn’t harming anything by being in there… i’d say just leave it in.

Thanks Macgyver… couldn’t have figured that one out myself!

I wish it was possible to just delete datablocks in the Oops, I’m tired of this silly way to delete things. Sometimes it can take ages to track down which faces on what objects are assigned to that damn material or texture you want to delete.
