How do I delete files in an IDE Project

At Dreamforce 2011 I attended a session that showed how to back up the metadata using the the Force.com IDE.  I was experimenting with how to restore a backed up file and so I used import.  When I went to the import menu, I select the folder and items that I wanted to restore.  However, this recreated the entire folder structure plus the objects instead of replacing the file I wanted restored.  How do I delete this now?  See diagram below: The part in red I want to remove from the project.  The Force.com IDE will not allow you to delete folders.  So what am I to do?
