I have added some items, such as the pictured "round rect button" in Interface Builder to my .xib file, but I am not able to remove them.
If I just click on the 'x', it disappears, but it's not removed from the interface. How do I actually delete it?
You just select the label you want to delete, and hit the delete button on your keyboard. That will remove the object. It works for me. I use the delete back button!
NIBs and XIBs are effectively the same thing: XIBs are newer and are used while you're developing, whereas NIBs are what get produced when you create a build. In modern versions of iOS and macOS, NIBs and XIBs have effectively been replaced by storyboards, although you may still meet them if you work on older projects.
XIB and Storyboard are used for creating interfaces for users. One important point is,xibs are used for creating a single view(it has single file owner at the top of the xib file), but in-case for viewcontroller, multiple screens can be added and its flow can also be monitored(it has separate file owners).
What are XIB files? From the point of view of the UI designer, XIB files contain the views or windows that you design in Interface Builder – the controls, their layout and properties, and their connections to your code. It is important to understand that on a technical level, XIB files are stored object graphs.
Highlight the items as shown below and hit the delete key
