Destroying Blueprint Books and Blueprints (Blueprints Tab)

Sorry if this has been addressed before or if it's a known bug, but I'd like to learn how to destroy blueprints and blueprint books under "My Blueprints" in the 0.15 Blueprint Tab. I can add them in, but cannot overwrite existing ones or remove them from the list. I also cannot edit them - trying to open them selects them instead of opening their object GUIs.

Is there a proper way to do this? Factorio 0.15.12.

Thank you very much.

Not as far as I know. You can either put them into a Chest (Wood Chest are cheapest) and destroy it (Wood Chests are also faster to destroy), preferably using cheap Yellow Ammo. Or you can use a mod that destroys your blueprints for you, whenever you put them into a slot that's not locked to Blueprints (this includes any inventory slot).

It's a clear UI design oversight, and I'm hoping the devs will fix it soon, because even the mod I'm using strikes me as a decidedly imperfect solution.

Can't you right click them and click the trash can, or am I misunderstanding the question?

Moving to Bugs - this is an issue with macOS Keybindings.
