To delete a GUI, just click the "'''Delete this GUI'''" button. '''WARNING:''' You must be ''' ''very careful'' ''' in doing this, as items in AGS are referenced by number; if you delete a GUI that is not the last in the list, the GUI IDs will be renumbered. As a result, it is possible that your game's script will refer to the wrong GUIs or even a non-existing GUI, causing crashes that end up being difficult to track. Fortunately, you have a name for each of the GUIs. If you only refer to them with their script names (i.e., you didn't type in the '''exact''' GUI IDs in your scripts), simply recompile all the rooms ('''Game -> Rebuild all room files''') and then save the game. | To delete a GUI, just click the "'''Delete this GUI'''" button.

Room objects can also be deleted by right-clicking now. Use the same caution as above for this feature. For fonts, characters, views, inventory items, etc., just re-use them as advised above or just leave them alone. They don't contribute much to file size anyway. Note that the deletion of items is only meant to used by experienced users, and remember to '''BACKUP''' your game before doing any such hazardous acts! | Room objects can also be deleted by right-clicking now.
