I have a document which I have been writing using the built-in citation system.



Within the Source Manager, the "Current List" shows a number of citations as being used within the document - this is denoted by them being ticked - yet they do not actually appear anywhere within the document.

I do not actually wish to cite these any longer, but I cannot delete them from the "Current List" because they are ticked (delete is therefore greyed out). Because I cannot delete them from the "Current List", they then appear in the Bibliography which I do not want because I am not citing them.

Any suggestions? How can I check through the document effectively to make sure that they aren't covertly being referenced somewhere?

I need to know how I can remove them from the "Current List".

Many thanks,

Hi jp_igit,

Have the works ever been cited in the document? Do you have 'Track Changes' switched on?

Yes, I have the track changes on, but the work is not referenced anywhere within the main document. Now I want to get rid of the document from the reference list but not being able to do so.

You'll probably find the troublesome references are all in tracked deletions; you can't delete the references until you Accept the corresponding citation deletions.
