Do you really want to delete a device from within a library or do just want to remove a library from the "Add" list?

From the "Add" list: Use the Drop button.

Deleting a device from within a library:
Use a test editor to open the library. ( C:\Program Files\EAGLE-6.1.0\lbr ) - Preferably one that supports formatting.
Search for the device name and delete section as appropriate.
A library entry Consists of three items: Symbol, Package and Device.
If the item you want to delete is tolaly unique, you probably want to delete the Symbol and Package as well.
This allows you to produce "The Expurgated Version" (for those who know their Python).

You can edit the text file in notepad or vi and delete the sections you want to remove

Thank you Mark Mckee for adding an actual helpful answer to this Q. Im assuming you mean open the .lib to do this? Theres no easy formatting unfortunately. I cant believe theres no option to batch delete files within a library >_<
