Deleting elements

About this task

The Edit menu on the diagram editors contains the Remove and menu commands. Edit > Remove removes an object from a particular view but not from the model, whereas Delete deletes the item from the entire model. In the browser, Delete always deletes an object from the entire model, including all diagrams.

To delete an object from the entire model while in the browser, use any of the following methods:

If you delete the only item in a category, the entire category displays with it. For example, if you delete the only object model diagram, the entire Object Model Diagrams category displays along with the specific diagram you deleted. The category does not return to the browser until you create at least one object model diagram.
