Delete manual footprint that was hidden

I am kind of at a loss for how to find something.  I used Icon Menu drop down then selected Manual to insert a footprint manually.  I selected the first option to Use generic marker only but didn't want the attributes to show on my print outs, however I want to delete 1 of them.  I tried to use the Unhide attributes Multiple window option but it doesn't unhide the attributes.  Can someone tell me how to access these now to delete?

 

Thank you

I kind of figured a work around I guess. I inserted a new visible panel footprint, named it the same tag name. Then used the delete component function which then asked me if I wanted to Search for/Surf to Related devices so I did and pressed Go To. I took me to that and then in the Surf dialog box it allowed me to delete. I won't make that mistake again but maybe this will help someone else.

If you cannot see hidden attributes, there is an easy way to make all attributes visible.

 

By default, ATTMODE is set to 1. This shows only visible attributes.

If set to 2, all attributes are now visible.

 

I do this often when I inadvertently hide an attribute.

 

(Be sure to set I back to 1 when done....)

Just tried that out, that worked as well.  Thank you for the additional hint.
