See above, I tried to explain it.
And all this is a very special situation where you 'share' the same script config (file) between multiple ProppFrexx instances running on different PCs.
And that special situation is another good reason for not deleting it...as a reliable warning could not even be displayed on PC1 (where you delete the script); as that PC could not check the usage of that script on PC2...

But real stations are not forced to 'share' the script lib folder/file - but that is not the point!
In any case, what you describe only happens, if you do share the config - and this is what I call a special situation (no one said, that it might not be common for many; what you call real; stations).
Sharing config folders/files work just fine - there is no bug or side effect.
The only thing which makes you wonder is, why a script lib is not removed immediately with a reload.
So I tried to explained why I decided to NOT delete scripts with a reload/refresh immediately - that' all.
This behavior is currently by design: and this fact is what I just described here.
So yes, we have 2 different opinions here...and it is fair to discuss this; but it is not a bug!

You might sync the data manually
I'll put your consideration onto my list...as always

A questions first:
Are you using a 'shared' config folder for both your PCs?
If yes, where exactly is your config file "ProppFrexx ONAIR.scriptlibs" be located?
And what config paths are you using on both PCs...?
The "ProppFrexx ONAIR.scriptlibs" contains the defined additional script libs. Their location is stored relative to the ProppFrexx ONAIR executable.
So if 2 scripts are added from 2 different PF instances, their (relative) location might be different.
I'll take a look, if that is also the reason, why the lib (when added from PC1) wasn't removed from that file (in case you deleted it from PC2).

Are you maybe still using an 'Auto. Script Path' in parallel which points to that same folder?

I took a closer look of what is possible in the next version:
- Some basic validation checks can be added when removing a script and/or media library
- A reload of the entire script library might then also remove that script lib if not used anymore

The above is now added to v3.0.14.6!
