In Books, go to your library, tap the “…” icon (top right), tap Select, select the items to delete and tap the trash icon (bottom left).

Not having PDFs in Apple Books Despite not wanting PDFs in my Apple Books library it has gone and done it anyway and I have thousands of pdfs clogging up the library view. The default setting for any PDF file is to open in Preview and has always been so. If I had a few days to spare I could delete all the PDFs in my Apple Books library but how can I be sure this is not deleting them completely when it says "Delete Everywhere"? I still need these PDFs but only in the original context in the Finder, not in my Books library. Also, how can I stop this happening again in the future?
