Remove citation from Latex - latex

I am trying to edit a a paper in Latex. But it make some problems in Reference section. I deleted three citation from reference file and remove citation name Like, \cite{X...} from the paper content. But still the citation are showed in the original pdf file. I need a suggestion, what would be solution or better way to do this.

Check the *.log files: you should understand better what's going on. However, citations handling has several steps (simplified version):
latex file.tex outputs a file.aux with the citations
bibtex file.tex outputs a file.bbl with the references
one more (or even more) latex file.tex is needed to get the article with both references and citations
The complete flow (taken from Goosens, Mittelbach, and Samarin (1994) The LaTeX Companion, Figure 12.1, p. 375) is: []

I encountered the same issue and I resolved it by deleting all the build generated files, i.e. *.aux, *.log etc, and rebuilding the .tex file.

Multibib cite not working on Latex-Overleaf

I am trying to use Multibib to separate the references, one for the paper and another for the appendix. The new command is not working, it doesn't find the bib entries from the related bib file.
Here is the smallest version of the overleaf project.
I use two different bib files: one for referencing through the paper and another for the SLR appendix part.
Then I created the new command:
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{slr}{Appendix References}
I used this command like:
An example with cite~\cite{10.1145/130844.130856}, and here is the citeslr~\citeslr{Mora_Segura201679}
And, at the Appendix part I wrote:
'''
\bibliography{sn-bibliography}
\clearpage
\appendix
\continuouslabelsfalse
\section{Selected Studies}
\label{append:slr}
\bibliographyslr{SLR}
'''
Find attached the minimal example here:

Hope for your support.
I solved this by adding a bibliography 'plain' style
\bibliographystyleslr{plain}

How to remove page number locations being added to bibliography entries

I am writing my thesis in Overleaf, using the IEEE reference style and the BibTeX package for the bibliography. The bibliography entries generated have additional text at the end, it would appear it is including which page(s) the particular citation comes from. Any help removing them would be greatly appreciated, and I have included an image of my PDF to show what this looks like. Thank you.
EDIT: The problem has been solved. My includes.tex files uses two packages, backref and pagebackref, which were responsible for adding the "pages" and their numbers for each citation entry. Include these if you want these pages labels, remove them if you do not. Thank you all for your help.
The easiest method is to just edit the .bib file, and remove all lines with "pages = ... ". If the bib file doesn't specify them, then bibtex won't create entries for it.
E.g., in
#article{dubey2014survey,
title={A survey of high level frameworks in block-structured adaptive mesh refinement packages},
author={Dubey, Anshu and Almgren, Ann and Bell, John and Berzins, Martin and Brandt, Steve and Bryan, Greg and Colella, Phillip and Graves, Daniel and Lijewski, Michael and L{\"o}ffler, Frank and others},
journal={Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing},
volume={74},
number={12},
pages={3217--3227},
year={2014},
publisher={Elsevier}
}
just remove the 'pages' line.
If you want to do it programmatically you'd have to edit the .bst file (IEEEtran.bst if i remember correctly), but that's not for the faint of heart, so I'd recommend the easier method.

Merge multiple chapters into one thesis document

I am fairly new to Latex.
I have written my thesis in Latex. I have 6 chapters and have made individual stand-alone files for each chapter. The main \thesis folder has a total pf 8 folders containing chapters 1 to 6, bibliography and acknowledgments, (\thesis\ChapterOne.. so on) for each chapter with all the necessary figures, tables, etc.
I tried to put the thesis together using main.tex
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\begin{document}
\input{\...\thesis\acknowledgements\cacknowledgements.tex}
\input{\...\thesis\ChapterOne\ChapterOne.tex}
\input{\...\thesis\ChapteroTwo\ChapteroTwo.tex}
.
.
\end{document}
I am not able to compile the file and get this error
Can be used only in preamble. \usepackage
How do I get around this?
I also need help with adding the table of contents and list of figures and tables.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I managed to do something similar with the subfiles package and a conditional like the one used here:

HTML homework created with pandoc from LaTeX includes the answers. Oops

I have a fairly large number (dozens) of homeworks written in LaTeX that I compile to PDF. We have recently adopted a LMS (Canvas) that needs HTML files. Conversion to HTML is easy peasy with pandoc, using the following command.
pandoc -s core3-hw08.tex --mathjax -c test.css -o core3hw08.html
Unfortunately, I included the homework answers following \end{document} in the tex files. This works great with PDF because my command (pdflatex) ignores everything after the end of the document. Pandoc doesn't, and the result is that the homework answers are converted to HTML along with the homework questions. Oops.
I could create an entire additional set of homework tex files without the answers, but that seems a bad solution --- having two identical sets of files with the only difference that one set as the answers and the other doesn't. I also want to keep the answers and questions in the same source document.
Is there any way to tell pandoc to ignore everything after \end{document}? I don't mind revising the source documents, which can be done with a script.

MLA-style bibliography with BibLaTeX: How to organise by section?

I'm using the MLA authoring style. I would like to print out a bibliography subdivided into different sections. I also want annotations on each source. Is this possible with BibLaTeX? Should I just do it manually?
Yes, I think you can do that with Biblatex, but I think you should still just do it manually.
Note, though, that you are probably wanting to craft your notes differently for each citation from one paper to the next, which leads to the question: why use Bibtex at all? You can generate a Bibtex file the usual way, until all the references are there, then cut&paste the .bbl file into place in your Latex file, and annotate and reformat away to your heart's content.
So I think that Bibtex makes sense as a standard repository of the basic facts about citations you might make again and again: in particular you can get it error-free; my experience as a scientific editor is that most authors are sure that their bibliographies are error-free, most have between 10% and 60% of entries having errors in them. Latex users tend to be better that Word users in this respect, and I think that it is because of Bibtex.
Caveat: you will need to mess about with the thebibliography environment to do this. But that is another question... Also, if there are errors in your Bibtex file, you will need to correct them in two places.
Why I don't like Biblatex: the Bibtex prepresentation is a standard, and is accepted by all kinds of other document processors. You shouldn't put special Latex formatting into your bibliographic database: that will reduce the utility of that database. For m in particular, I use both Latex and Context: both use Bibtex, but only Latex uses Biblatex.
I managed to write a quite nice MLA-style bibliography with bibtex and the style provided by the Reed College (which is based on Natbib), and BibUnits to subdivide the entries in sections (as discussed here)
(let me know if you have any tips with MLA styles, my paper is not finished yet)
EDIT: my answer was for standard bibtex, not biblatex, sorry
yes, you can do it easily with biblatexwith the headings:
For instance:
\defbibheading{general}{\section*{General Architecture}}
\defbibheading{european}{\section*{European Architecture}}
\printbibliography[heading=general,keyword=general]
\printbibliography[heading=european,keyword=european]
and add the relevant keywords={architecture} keywords={general} in your *.bib files
Here is a biblatex MLA-style, if you need biblatex-mla (and a related question, you may also face this problem)
