It is a root class
It is the active class
It is a parent of the active class.

From the Package Browser, select a class.
Tip: To multiselect classes from the Package Browser, press down the Ctrl key.
To delete the class, you can either:
- Press Delete from your keyboard
- Select Delete from the context menu.
The class is deleted from the Package Browser.

Delete a Class using the Component Browser

You can delete components that are direct children of the active class.

See the illustration below:

The unmarked classes can be deleted, the marked ones cannot.

Important: When deleting a component, you modify its parent class and all the classes that are related to this class (through Extends clauses, instantiation...).

From the Package Browser, activate the class containing the component you want to delete.
The Component Browser displays the component.
From the Component Browser or from the diagram layer, select a component.
Tip: You can multiselect components:
From the Component Browser: press down the Ctrl key.
