I wish to delete a library from my sketch library that i added awhile ago but am having problems finding out the best way of doing this. I have deleted the original zip source file but the library still remains in the ide sketch library,any ideas that work? "please"

The Arduino IDE doesn't provide any way to remove libraries, so you'll need to do it manually by deleting the library folder.
A fairly easy way to find library folders is:
- File > Examples > {library name} > select any example
- Sketch > Show Sketch Folder. This will open the folder containing the example sketch.
- Navigate up one (usually) folder level to the "examples folder.
- Navigate up one more folder level. This is the library's folder.
Libraries are installed to folders under {sketchbook folder}/libraries. You can find the location of your sketchbook folder in the Arduino IDE at File > Preferences > Sketchbook location.
