I probably have been deleting aircraft the wrong way. I did not think of a right click in the aircraft select list. I chose to use the Windows Explorer. I have RF G5.5 and it put a directory Realflight G5 in your My Documents. Click on the directory, then Vehicles and you will find a "Custom Models" directory and look for the name of the plane you want to delete. I have done this to get rid of unwanted planes.
When I restart it is gone!
There may be better ways put it works for so I do it that way.
