How to permanently remove units i have made?

from Elemental Forums

So I've made a fair amount of units, and while some are good some i've realized later i didn't build very well.

 

Problem is i haven't found a way to permanently delete a unit i've made. retiring stops showing it to me for the single game, but the unit still shows up in later games (and the ai will start using them!)

Is there a way to truly delete a unit design?

You have to go into the xml files and delete them.

You have to go into the xml files and delete them.

And you have to do this while the game is running, ie tab out. Otherwise Steam will restore the missing files when you start it up, as it interprets it as missing from synced files.
