Can't remove constraint region

Oatmeal

I have a .brd with a shape on it that I can't move or delete. If I try to move it I get "Cannot edit Shape "Rgn_Ic, Constraint Region/All". It has the FIXED property." If I try to UNFIX I get the "No valid items selected for the current operation" same if I try to delete it. Inside this pink shape one of my nets is randomly pink no matter the layer. In the constraints manager under Properties > Net > General Properties  I see this net and it has a pink bar in the "Type" column and a red arrow is the "name" column. 

I'm obviously very new to Allegro but even our drafter can't figure out how to get rid of this. Thank you.

    When you invoke the Unfix command, check the Find Pane and make sure that Shapes are enabled then click on the shape. The alternative is to invoke Unfix then right click - Unfix All or look at Edit - Properties of the region shape. The color is driven by an override. If you invoke Display - Dehighlight then look at the Options pane, uncheck the retain objects custom color then click on All it should clear. You can also look at Display - Color Visibility then the Nets tab to see the override colors.

    There was no FIX property on the shape, what ended up working for me was simply Setup > zones > manage then deleting the zone there.

    The net was still pink which I was able to fix with your suggestion to check the nets tab in the color dialog, right clicking the net and selecting clear all custom colors.

    Thank you I appreciate your help.
