!Right click on listbox, remove.

If you dont see the option remove then in sheet properties(Ctrl+Alt+S) check whether remove object is selected or not.

find the screenshot

Right click and remove, if no option for this then you need to go to the sheet options and check the remove object box.

try deleting from the sheet properties itself. See there is a button at the bottom right corner. Select the object from sheet properties and click delete buytton to delete it.

Hi,

Not sure why this happens? Is there any duplicate objects in the sheet? Make sure the deleted object ID and the one in the sheet properties are same?

Jagan.

you might have created multiple objects by copy pasting..try checking the object id and delete it. better delete it from the sheet properties.

Is that object included in a container anywhere? These do not show up in the sheet properties. You will have to remove it from the container(s).

Press Ctrl Alt D to go to document properties. In document properties, security tab, check or select admin override security and then try.

we once had the same problem. It was not possible to delete a newly created object by right-clicking and delete.

All the security settings were correct (doc. properties, user-properties and worksheet properties sec. settings).

However, it was possible to see the object in worksheet properties, mark the new object and delete by pressing
the delete button at right bottom.

Problem was caused by a wrong Settins.ini. We migrated from 11.2 to 12.10, and restored the old Settings.ini...
and this caused the issue. So to resolve the issue, close qlikview, rename settings.ini to settings.ini.old
and create a new settings.ini by reopening qlikview. The removal of a new object should work easily then.
