Yep, I'd consider this a bug or at least a missing feature.

How about a "Remove folder from project" option for Gideon?

Anyhows, here's the recipe:

1. Remove all files from the subdir (lib) in KDevelop as you allready
did.

2. Close KDevelop and open up your project file (myproject.kdevprj) in
the root dir of your project.

3. Remove anything that has to do with the lib you want to remove:
   - in the [General] section remove the Makefile.am listed for the    
library
   - find the sub_dirs= section where you lib is listed and remove it
   - remove any sections like [myproject/unwanted_lib]

4. Almost done now, but the Makefile for your lib is still listed in
configure.in so open it up in an editor and scroll to the very bottom.
Remove myproject/unwanted_lib/Makefile from the AC_OUTPUT macro.

5. That's it. Kick KDevelop back up, run automake/autoconf and then
configure and you're all set. When you see it works and you didn't
forget anything, you can safely remove the subdir which you don't need
any more.
