If you delete a published resource in the offline project it will stay
in the online project until you publish the deletion. You can't delete
resources directly in the online project.

Be aware that this will not actually remove the resource from the online
project, but it will not be visible from the outside.
Be also aware that if the resource is published again at a later date, the
original expiration date will be restored and the resource will then
be visible again - unless it is still expired.
