How to remove barracks in a specific province?
I did some army reorganization, and wanted to concentrate the barracks where the arms and ammo are cheaper. However, I'm unable to specify which barrack gets demolished. So, do I have to juggle the troops between different armies to isolate the ones I want? Or is there a button hidden somewhere?

I guess you know how to do this, mentioning your "juggle the troops" statement.

For everyone else:
Select the barracks
Scroll down to the part where you can see the formations that get units out of that barrack (to pre-filter at least the armies where you have to search the batallions).
Select the first formation.
Shift+1 if you are not in the "Informations"-Tab.
expand unit types.
Find the units that come from that particular barracks.
Delete them.
Repeat with all formations.

A thing that i learned the hard way:
Do NEVER spread barracks for a single army.
Split your Country in 4 parts (at least 2), an army for every part, every army gets supplied by that particular part.

(This is why:
You spread barracks of a single army around your realm,
Lets say you defend at 2 different fronts on opposite sides of your realm.
If you loose at the first front some countries, other formations at the second will eventually loose men that will not replenish, bc their barracks where occupied. So you weaken your army on another front too.)

Go to the building screen, go to Barracks, expand so your can see by state and delete the one you don’t want.

I looked through that screen, but there's no option to delete the barracks.

-edit-
Well, I juggled the troops back and forth to isolate and disband the ones I wanted. But that's certainly not an easy way to do that. Am I overlooking a simpler, direct way? Or is this another screwup introduced by the recent patch?

OOH, thanks. The units are even labelled as "unit-from-province". It's still weird that you can't delete the barracks directly in the province, though.
