polymorphic disconnect from library

I'm having a rough go with this whole LabVIEW8 Library concept.  I'm trying to organize all the tools I have created over the years in a hierarchy of libraries and keep hitting snags.  Either the tools for organizing libraries are buggy or so unintuitive that I haven't yet figured out how to use them when it come to sub-libraries.
 
But nevermind that for now.  All I'm trying to do is reset and start over.  I deleted all the lvlib files I have created and have opened up each of my vis, controls, global defs, polymorphics--full of broken arrows--and I'm doing "disconnect from library" on each one.  This works fine with everything except polymorphics.  Polymorphics do not have a "disconnect from library" menu item available.
 
What is my way out of this mess, short of recreating from scratch every polymorphic I have ever created in my library of tools?

Regarding my broken arrow mess, I got out it by writing a VI using VI server to disconnect the polymorphics from their libraries.

Regarding the missing menu item "file->disconnect from library" in polymorphics, I still think that is a bug/problem/whatever in LV8.

It might be a subject for a new thread, but I don't get how to set up a hierarchy of libraries yet.

I guess you have to remove the polymorphic vi (that holds all the descriptions of its "sub"vi's).

But you give me another thought about a project/library manager.
