Synchronizing maven dependencies with libraries
Answered
I've handed edited my pom.xml file bringing in various versions of libraries some of which have many dependencies. Now my Project Structure | Libraries
lists all of these even though I've deleted many from my pom.xml. Because there are so many transitive dependencies I'm not sure I can select the correct ones to delete by hand. I've tried right-clicking in pom.xml and reimporting several times but it doesn't affect the libraries.
Is there some sequence of things I can do to reset the list of libraries so it matches the dependencies in pom.xml?

Reimporting the Maven project should be enough. You can also analyze the dependencies of your Maven project to see where they are coming from: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/working-with-maven-dependencies.html.
You can also run 'mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose' in the terminal to see if the list is shorter than you get in IDEA.
