Default Mail Merge in Word 2007

In Mail Merge I want to delete a existing file. In Step 2 I start from
existing document. One of of the file names I want to delete. It is a .docx
name.
I did a file search and nothing comes up. It does not right click.
What is next? TIA

deleted.

If you want to remove the data source from a mail merge main document,
change the type of the document to a Normal Word document. Then if you want
to, change it back to the original type of mail merge main document. It
will then no longer have the data source attached.

The only place I can find the file is in. Step 2, When I start from existing
document.
