How do I remove an item from the "Custom XML Part" dropdown menu in the XML Mapping pane?

I'm not aware of a built-in way to delete specific embedded xml files so you are going to need a macro to loop through your files and delete any on command. Try this macro

Code:

Sub CleanupXML()
  Dim aCX As CustomXMLPart, iResponse As Integer
  For Each aCX In ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts
    Debug.Print aCX.NamespaceURI
    If Not aCX.BuiltIn Then
      iResponse = MsgBox(aCX.NamespaceURI & vbCr & vbCr & aCX.XML, vbYesNo, "Delete this one?")
      If iResponse = vbYes Then aCX.Delete
    End If
  Next aCX
End Sub
