The lib_delete function deletes a data library from
the file system and from memory. All data files associated with the library
and the specified engine will be deleted.
If other files exist in the library directory, they will not be affected
by the delete operation.
The directory that contains the data will also
not be affected by the delete operation. To delete the data directory,
use the unlink function or other packaged functions.
