Assets Questions: mesh & delete

Hello again, folks.
I am seeking help with two separate asset questions in the hopes of reducing my ignorance--a condition I face each time I open up my game. (1) What does the word "mesh" refer to regarding assets? (2) How do you completely delete an unwanted downloaded-asset from your computer after it has been downloaded, installed, and archived? I can easily see that I'm going to need to ask many, many questions. I appreciate your help and your patience. Would like to know, also, if its acceptable to ask more than one question in a single post if the questions are somehow related (such as this one where both are about assets) or if the questions are relatively simple in nature. For example: (3) What in the world does the word "Portal" refer to? I find it nowhere in the game manual. Thanks for the help. Bill (billcaboose) P.S. I'm so slow at all this that right now I cannot see the advantage in buying a First Class Ticket. However, if "Just Train", "Auran"--whoever--would re-write their game manual to a length of about 500 to 1000 pages of good, specific, highly useable information, I WOULD BUY IT IN A HEARTBEAT.
 
Mesh is the shape file that the textures get applied to, the shape of the object that you see. Deleting stuff is a matter of looking it up in content manager, learn to use the filter to sort through different types. A "portal" can refer to a tunnel entrance, but also a special track (sometimes with a tunnel object over it) that sends new trains into the session and removes trains from the session, IE AI (Artificial Intelligence) traffic trains.
