FYI only: Martin Luther, the defrocked former Catholic priest and theologian, also deleted seven books of the Bible, all in the Old Testament. These books are accepted by Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, but are not accepted by Jews or Protestants. These include 1 and 2 Maccabees, Judith, Tobit, Baruch, Sirach, and Wisdom, and additions to the books of Esther and Daniel. Imagine, deleting the Book of Wisdom. I wonder how Luther thought that he had the authority to do this. Perhaps it was merely hubris.
Were those the ones that were included by the Council of Trent, which happened AFTER Luther translated the Bible?
