I selected a term from the Synonyms list and deleted it using the backspace key. Why does it still appear in the Terms list?
When you highlight a term in the Synonyms list and delete it using [Backspace] or [Delete], you are extracting that term. That means that the term is removed from the synonym list in which it resides, but it is not removed from the list of terms. Delete the term if you no longer need it by selecting the term in the Terms list from the left side of the Term Manager window and click Global Edit. The term you want to delete is displayed in the Global Edit dialog box. Click Delete to permanently remove this term from the terms list for the database.
