Hi @ainayves,

Thanks for raising this issue.

To delete annotated objects (rectangles, polygons, etc.) in X-AnyLabeling, please ensure the object you wish to delete is currently selected and highlighted. Once highlighted, you have a few options:

1. Delete Key: Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
2. Right-Click Menu: Right-click on the highlighted object and select "Delete" from the context menu.
3. Label Container: You can also directly edit or delete objects within the label list/container usually located on the right-hand side of the interface.

Regarding your comment that "The delete key doesn't work," could you please provide more details? This could be due to a few reasons:

• Object Not Selected: Ensure the object is actively selected and highlighted before pressing the Delete key.
• Shortcut Conflict: It's possible there's a conflict with another application using the same shortcut.
• Software Bug: Although less likely, there might be an issue within X-AnyLabeling itself.

If convenient, a short screen recording demonstrating the issue would be very helpful in diagnosing the problem.

If you suspect a shortcut conflict, you can customize the delete_polygon shortcut within your user configuration file located at ~/.xanylabelingrc. This allows you to assign a different key combination.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or can provide more information. We're here to help!

Thank you for your answer @CVHub520 ,

Is this what you mean by "highlighted " ??

I am using an inference model , but I think it is not related to my problem , right ^^??

Great tool , by the way !!

After some test, I found that when I am using SAM 2.1 models or GroundingDINO : I am not able to delete objects .
But on "YOLOv8-Det-BotSort" model , I can delete objects.

I'm not sure what the situation is on your end, but a general recommendation is to update your code to the latest version. You can do this with git pull origin main. I've also recorded a short video that I hope will help you.

Please note two points:

1. Make sure you are in edit mode (the default shortcut is Ctrl+J, you can also customize it if needed), and the object being deleted is highlighted (for example, if it's a rectangle, the four corner points should be highlighted);
2. For more information, you can refer to the official user manual: https://github.com/CVHub520/X-AnyLabeling/blob/main/docs/en/user_guide.md

Yes, delete doesn't work. Objects are selected but DEL keys and menu item do nothing.
