Deleting a business transaction?

I'm trying to understand how to delete a business transaction. It looks like I am hitting the 200 Business Transaction limit because we used auto discovery for our applications. I still see these business transactions on the slow thresholds list but cannot figure out where the delete button is for them. I have updated auto discovery rules for the application to stop discovering transactions but they still show up on the Slow Thresholds list and my new business transaction is still under "All other traffic"

Hi
Go to "Business Transactions" menu on the left (in your selected
application) and then right click on your BT to delete it.
HOWEVER, you should first fix the BT explosion. Because you are going to
have other ones replacing the ones you delete.

Best practices are to :
* Create a low priority "Catch-All" Business Transaction matching everything
* Create your own custom rules to catch well your critical BTs
* Delete the irrelevant BTs and you need to keep an eye on it, there is a
kind of "backlog" you have to clean from the agents keeping reporting BTs
* Check your "Catch-All" BT to see any remaining stuff that you could
classify better.

Just a piece of advice...
