Can't Delete feature with warning in Timeline

[jkurtis]

Hi- I have tried several suggestions to this problem that were posted in recent past... my issue:

1) modeled up a CNC gantry style mill

2) deleted the Z-axis component

3) now there are 2 "stubborn" sketches in time line with reference plane lost issue... I would like to clean this up... 

4) interestingly, these demon sketches do not belong to a component (their parent component was deleted) as evidenced by the lack of a colored bar over their icons in the timeline...

I append a screen shot and the fusion file.. 

thx for any help..

I removed the two sketches with errors from your timeline.  Do you think you have enough Capture Position's in your timeline!  You must hate "Joints".  Model is attached.

Hi John- thank you so much... yes- you are quite correct- I am a total hack at modeling (though I really enjoy the process and am trying to get better)... I think I just can't decide where parts should go, so I move them around a lot before locking them in place with joints :))

Can you please tell me how you removed the offending sketches so i can learn to do this myself ??

thx a ton- I really appreciate it..

As you will see in the video, I hovered over the two errors in the Timeline to find the component they were a part of.  When I could not find the component in the Browser I realized it had to be deleted from the timeline.  Normally you do not delete components but in this case....

their parent component was removed

This is why you can see the sketches in the timeline but cannot delete or edit them.
