Oh, I should say though - normally you should still be able to use publican to do the delete rather than opening up sqlite itself:

publican update_db --del --lang="zh-TW" --version="12" --formats="pdf"

Normally I would recommend being more specific using the --name and/or --product arguments, but the above is equivalent to what you did in sqlite.
