From time to time we know that users will want to remove a book from their account, whether it's because you accidentally uploaded something you didn't mean to or simply because you no longer want to keep it on your bookshelf - either way, removing a book you uploaded is no trouble at all. On mobile this can also be done to free up space on your device by removing local copies of books that you downloaded to read, or fully deleting the book from your account.

Deleting a Book on iOS

To delete a book on iOS, you'll first need to tap on the book cover to open its details screen. Once you're viewing the book's info, you'll tap on the menu button in the top right corner that looks like three dots.

This will pop up a small context menu of options, and for this situation you'd tap the Delete option.

Tapping the Delete option will bring up a confirmation dialogue which will ask you what kind of delete you want to do.  If you are wanting to delete the book and have it removed from your BookFusion library, you'll select the first "Delete Book" option. However, if you're just wanting to remove the local copy that was downloaded to your device when you read it, choose the second "Remove from Device" option and this will free up space on your iOS device without deleting the entire book from your library.
