I am deleting association from pop-up menu of the ClassDiagram. But association is keeping in Class Specification\>Relations. Why? May I delete this association at all?

Hi Eugeny,

Thanks for your post. It’s possible that you selected “No” when you are asked to remove the element from repository or not (please refer to “asking\_if\_remove\_element\_from\_repository.png”), or you selected “Don’t delete” at Tools \> Options \> General \> Project (as shown as “don’t\_delete.png”) so the relationship is not removed from your repository (Model Explorer).

Please manually remove the relationship from Model Explorer. Hope this helps.

Best regards,  
Lilian Wong
