Some times It happens that I can’t delete a container or a flex using delete on the keyboard or right clicking and removing. It still get stuck. I’ve tried to save, close app and tried again but it doesn’t delete. What should I do?

Never happened to me, so I have no solution, just the advice to post beta issues in the [Beta Feedback category](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/c/rapidweaver-elements/beta-feedback/57) of this forum 😉

Hi @vinioliv, can you send the project to us via Elements Cloud and we’ll take a look for you?

I was able to delete by unlinking globals

We were just looking into the issue and it’s something we’re going to need to fix in the app to stop it happening again in the future…

However, in the meantime @upssjw is correct, if you right-click and unlink the globals you can delete the offending component.

I’d then suggest deleting the global from your library and remaking it from unlinked components in your page. Phew, I really hope that makes sense!

Got you, so I had to unlink the parent global for the deletion to work. Thank you!

For now yes, but we’ll get it properly fixed in a future beta!
