Description:
On version 6.3.10 There is no apparent way to delete the schema -- AND -- you can change the schema name to ``` -- either way, not great.  
This is on a Mac, and there is no Physical Schema heading/tab. There is no + or _ except for zoom of the diagram. There is only a context menu stating Edit Schema, which will open up the detail window to the schema, but even there it does not ever provide a way to delete it.  When forward engineering, you can generate persistent errors by having this extra schema that does nothing. If you delete all tables (TABLE1), then the errors do not reappear even if you use ``` as a schema name.

How to repeat:
Steps:
Open mySQL Model
Add existing schema
Attempt to delete default schema

anticipated: 
some way to delete --- a minus sign, a context menu or other menu for 'Delete Schema'

No such device is available or in any way obvious

Suggested fix:
Allow a Delete

Problem is actually that the editing within the schema browser is not fully functioned. There is an ability under the MySQL Model Tab in the Physical Schemas panel, where you select the schema tab for the schema you want to delete, and click the - button way over to the right (on a different end of the panel that is not very obvious.  This is not a bug, but it is AWKWARD as a user interface.
