How to find an import symbol

[drewj]

How do I find and delete an import symbol if I dont know which view it exists on?

I would like to remove an import symbol that was placed by another user and for some reason I am drawing a blank at the moment.

Remove it from the view or from the project?
what do you mean by Import Symbol?

If you know of a view that it exists on, you can right click and find refering views or just delete it from the browser (removes from project).

Thanks for the reply
