Appearance Deletion Example Needed

OK, this is really frustrating.  I seem to find "answers" to my question but I can't for the life of me get a "delete" option in the menus from the face appearances in the right panel.

These three threads all stop at the assumption that I can figure out how to get that menu+delete to show up.  I feel like a doofus, but I gotta ask for someone to share one of those nifty short animated gifs of what I'm doing wrong--or something.

Very simple example:

The main reason I want to delete these is so when I export there aren't any materials included.

    You can’t delete a part appearance, only a face appearance. It’s just a colour so just set it to grey if you want to export it grey (no material props are exported).

    OK, Bummer.  I could have sworn that the parts didn't show up in that list until I added some colors to test things out.  I'll just live with it.
