In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

deleting 'empty' transform nodes in outliner
I was wondering if there was anyway to delete transform nodes in the outliner, as in the ones that are just the white squares, look similar to the group nodes, its like they are empty group nodes, that don't show they hierarchal to anything but end up deleting geometry when I click delete on them.
Cheers,
Chris

What you need to do is find what polygon they control, select it, then go to edit->delete by type->history. In most cases this will delete the nodes themselves; otherwise, the relationship is now gone, so you can delete the node safely.
