How to Remove a PDF From a Nook

Delete or archive a PDF to remove it from your Nook.

You cannot delete a PDF file from your Nook directly. Instead, you need to hook your Nook up to your computer and delete the PDF from the "My Documents" folder associated with the device. This removes the PDF from your Nook and displays the PDF in black in your Barnes and Noble library. You can also archive a PDF to remove the file from your Nook. Archived files will still be available in your Barnes and Noble Library.

Instructions

Archive PDF

1. Tap "My Library" on the "Home" tab of your Nook.

2. Select the PDF that you want to remove.

3. Tap "Archive." This removes the PDF from your Nook; however, it will be available in your Barnes and Noble Library.

Delete PDF

1. Plug your Nook into your computer using the USB cord provided. This opens the "AutoRun" window.

2. Click "Open Window To View File Using Windows Explorer" and press the "OK" button.

3. Click once on the PDF file, then press "Delete" on your keyboard.

4. Click "Yes" when prompted to verify that you want to delete the file.

Tips & Warnings

• Barnes and Noble does not recommend manually deleting files. Barnes and Noble Customer Service will not be able to retrieve the PDF. Instead, it suggests that you archive the PDF. Deleting the PDF from your Nook does not remove it from your Barnes and Noble library.
