If you are simply removing items from the favorites list (assuming this is
what you mean by "main list") then right click the item and choose "Remove
>From Favorites".  Removing items from the rest of the menu sets I imagine
comes from the uninstalling of the software.  Floating over the the
"Delete" option reveals the user does not have permission and Menulibre
will not run as root.  This tells me the developers took measures to allow
the software to control it's own removal.  I am just making an educated
guess at this point and someone else may be able to elaborate.  You can;
however, choose whether the items show up in the menu by turning ON/OFF the
"Hide from Menu" option on the individual items in menulibre.     HTH.
