How can I select a pcb layout item (net or pieces of tracks) and deleting it? I'm unable to select some of them.

EuSV

Hi!

I've opened an old project and after making the translation to 16.6 there appeared two bits of track that belongs to GND net. But the pads belongs to CHBN net. I don't know why the two gnd conductors has brought here. There is no GND pads near the position where they appear. 

I named the two bits 1 and 2 with red colours as can be seen: 

1 and 2 bits of track are two conductors that I would like to delete but I'm unable to select them, so deleting them too.

When I try to select them, the console launch this msg: Selected item not valid for current operation, ignored: Net "Gnd".

Please can anyone tell me how to proceed to get my target done? How can they be selected? how can it be deleted from here?

    Look at the Find Pane and make sure all the relevant items are enabled. These could be Clines, Lines or Cline Segs, If you are in General Edit Mode you can hover over the item and it will highlight and give a tooltip as to what it is. This is driven by the Find Pane so if nothing is enabled, nothing will highlight. (FYI Setup - Application Modes - General Edit).
