Removing a component from QSys/SOPC

[Altera_Forum]

I have a design in which I created a couple of custom Avalon peripherals on Qsys. One of those peripherals is redundant to this or any future design.  

 I would like to delete it from the component library view.   How do I do this?

[Altera_Forum]

As far as I understand the custom components are added when QSYS starts up by browsing the given IP folders for .tcl files. Therefore, to remove a component simply delete or rename the extension of the .tcl file

Thank you. I will try that.

Qsys and SOPCB search for components by looking for .tcl and .ipx files. It looks in a few place for these files but the most common place is in a subdirectory of your hardware project called /ip 

 By default one level deeper will be searched relative to where the tcl/ipx file is found.

Yes. That seems to be the case.  

 Thank you.
