There is only one other way to delete lights: with a text editor. I just loaded my own lights into P5, and noticed one thing that is useful: The default lights have cameras called "Shadow Lite # Cam", as in your illustration (and Light 1 has no space: Lite1 Cam). Lights you create like your spotlight 4, are named "Shadow Lite Cam #" for some reason. And under no circumstances are they named with underscores. So where did the underscores come from? I deleted all my lights and then created six new ones. The new ones were named Light 1-6, and their cameras were named 4-9! This is because, as I said, Lights 1-3 are still there, EVEN THO they were deleted. But still no underscores. I manually renamed a camera with underscores, but deleting the light still deleted the camera. There doesn't appear to be any way to delete the cameras except in a text editor or by deleting the light that goes with it. I think it's time to talk to the creator of the lights about how it was done. Mick
