Organize and Manage Materials
Custom Folders
You can organize materials into custom folders for easy reference and
management. By doing this, you are, effectively, customizing a user archive.
For more information, see
Use the Presenter Archives (page 547).
The Material Palette
On the Materials tab, the right pane, or material palette, is where you edit
and manage your materials for your scene. Materials are taken from the archives
into the palette where they are edited. You can then save the palette into a
Autodesk Navisworks palette file (NWP) for use in other scenes too.

folder in the left pane, and right-click the folder you want to delete.
