Deleting Components in Flux

Gathering instructions for Flux.

Ensuring proper formatting and linking.

Providing deletion steps for components.

Reading docs about How do I delete or remove a part/component in Flux from the schematic or PCB views? Include keyboard shortcuts like Delete/Backspace, context menu options, multi-select, using the Objects list, and whether deleting in one view removes it from the entire project. Include undo/redo steps..

Requesting help on component deletion.

Here’s what the Flux documentation says about deleting parts:
How do I delete a component, wire, or trace?
  • Select the object and press Del.
  • Right-click and choose Delete.
  • Use Ctrl + Z to undo changes.

Preparing a concise answer.

Compiling the response.

It’s likely the part is locked. This is what the Flux documentation says:
“Locking an Object
There are three ways of locking an object:
  • Object tree: go the "Objects" tab on the left, find the target component and click on the lock icon
  • Context menu: right-click on the target object and select "Lock"
  • Hotkey: Use Shift+L
What is Disabled? Locking disables the following interactions on the PCB editor:
Drag Context menu and hotkeys for:
Add Delete Disable Rotate Flip layer Align Space Evenly Trace Width Replace”
If you see a lock icon next to the item in the Objects panel, unlock it there, then try Delete again.
