How to delete Cross-references

I have a bunch of out of date cross-references that I can’t seem to delete.

I want to get rid of Conclusion & Recommendation, but the delete option is grayed out. I can’t figure out why I can’t delete these.

May be some of them are in use in the document ?.

  • You can search for them / delete with the naviagator. Then delete y the Fields dialog.

Your screenshot does not show cross-references. It lists the Variables and you have highlighted a special kind of variable called a Number range, i.e. an auto-incremented counter usually used in captions. You should look for such occurrences. The side Navigator is your friend.

I confirm that any active use of the variable grays out the delete button. Consequently, track occurrences with the Navigatorr, section Fields.

I would have thought so, too. But I can’t find anything in the Navigator that indicates these are still in use.

“Concl” is in use, and I’m able to delete that if I choose, but I can’t delete any of the others.
