You can only delete the smart bins that you have created yourself.
The Collections Smart Bins are created automatically.
If you want to get rid of them, you can go to
Preferences > User > Editing > Automatic Smart Bins
and deactivate them.

Thank you, Christoph .. that was very helpful.
Now I need to find out an offline clip where it is used in the timeline:

Normally when I right-click on a clip, I select the Usage option:

But in this offline clip, I do not see the Usage option! Any idea why and how find this clip on my timelines?
