Remove second window

I have designed a system that initially used a parent and child window using Visual Designer. After many changes, I no longer needed the child (second) window.
My problem is I cannot remove the window from the Visual Designer file - the delete function, in Visual Designer, will not remove the window.
Anyone know how to do this.

Just load the produced code into the IDE and delete it there if you know how. Must be our cold Melbourne weather doing it to you:):)
The visual designer produces a constants file and a windows that you can edit manually.
Remove second window from Visual Designer file

Fangfeast, thanks for your response - Melbourne is returning its cold winters.
My probelm is I want to delete the second window from the pbv file so I can continue using to Visual Desisigner to make updates in the window I am designing.
I know how to load the source pb file Visual Designer creates and carry out the edit, but this gets annoying everytime I update the window design in Visual Designer.
It would be better too be able to remove the window from the visual designer. Unfortunately when I select the window, the delete function does not work.
Any help appreciated.

Oh, you're using the visual designer that comes with PB. There is a new one available for download that edits the source directly.
To destroy the window, just click the X to close it. You will get a question if you really want to delete the window. Answer yes.

Trond's idea is better. I didn't know about the new designer version as I don't use it myself.
