2. Click the Delete button. Note: When you click Delete nothing will happen. Please refresh the screen to see the Favorites List removed.Hints/Tips1. Global Favorites lists are seen by all users.

4. Administrators can see non-global Favorites Lists by switching to a Standard User's view.

5. Clicking "Delete" will not automatically refresh the page, please refresh your browser page to see the change.

6. Do not use an apostrophe in a Favorites List name, it can cause errors (like the inability to delete it unless you remove the apostrophe first).
