Re: Festures ?

I'm not 100% shure, but I think you need to delete everything in the feature and then you can delete it.

Re: Festures ?

This is partially correct as you cannot directly delete a component. A component is removed from the project when its attached resource (file/registry) is deleted.

The solution is to move the components from the feature, once its empty you can delete it.

If the feature is empty use the Del key or choose Delete from its context menu.

Just right-click on the feature and the context menu will be shown.
