Hello,

To permanently delete a Translation Memory (TM) in Trados Studio, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio.

Step 2: Navigate to the Translation Memories view.

Step 3: In the list of TMs, find the TM you want to delete.

Step 4: Right-click on the TM and select 'Remove'. This will remove the TM from the list, but not delete it from your system.

Step 5: To delete it permanently, you need to locate the TM file on your computer. TMs are usually stored as .sdltm files.

Step 6: Once you've located the file, simply delete it from your system.

Please note that once a TM is deleted from your system, it cannot be recovered. So, make sure you won't need it in the future before deleting it.

Best regards,
