Shallow Delete

A shallow delete is useful when you want to remove a model element icon from a diagram but keep the model element in the model. A shallow delete keeps the model element in the browser and removes the icon of the element from the diagram.

To perform a shallow delete on a selected model element that appears on a diagram:

• Click Edit > Delete.
• Press DELETE.

Note: If you perform a shallow delete on an element without a name, Rational Rose will delete the model element completely from the model.
