John Hanna mentioned a very simple and efficient way of deleting
variables, such as programs and functions.
Say if you have something stored, such as a program and a function,
and you want to delete it without having to create an entirely new
document.
Step 01. You open a new calculator page in the problem that the
program/function is in.
Say if the program was on 1.1 (problem 1/page 1), then you can press
[ctrl]+[i] insert a new page 1.2.
If you are on problem 2, you must open a page in that problem in order
to delete the program/function.
Step 02. After opening a new calculator page, type in "DelVar" and
then the name of the program/function.
Say if the program name is sample. Then you would put in "DelVar
sample" and hit [enter].
A "Done" message should appear, confirming that you have deleted the
variable.
Example Review 01: Here is what you would put into the calculator
page...
(x = name of the program or function)
DelVar x
Example Review 02: Say if you want to delete multiple variables; you
can separate each variable with a comma.
(x = name of first program or function, y = name of second..., z
= name of third)
DelVar x,y,z
Sincerely,

Hmmmm... perhaps the program is open in a Program Editor App. Try deleting
the Program Editor app from the problem...
Go into the Program Editor, press ctrl-k to select the App, then press the
backspace key.
Now try the delvar mm command again.

Re: Shouldn't the program be being saved in the my documents?
No, a program resides in a problem which resides in a document. A program is only available to the problem in which it is defined and can only be ‘run’ in a Calculator app. It’s the document that gets saved in your file system. When you save the document it’s saved in one of the folders in ‘My Documents’ (HOME>My documents).
So, when you write a program you probably use a Program Editor App to write it (you could use the Calculator App to write a program, but it’s not convenient). This is available on a Calculator app (which will split the page and put the program editor on the right) or from Tools/Insert (on the handheld) or Insert (in the computer software) in which case you will get a full-page program editor.
The advantage of having a split page with a Calculator on one side and the Program on the other side is that you can both edit and run the program on the same page and switch between the two apps (ctrl-tab) for editing the program and testing it.
Programs could be ‘global’, meaning that other problems and even other documents could use them, but you’ll have to know about the ‘Library’ concept. That’s another story.
