Can't delete prims I rezzed on my own land

[Eve1209 Quintessa]

Hi everyone!  I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not. Please forgive me if I'm in the wrong section, but it's not really a building question per se.  I bought a pre-fab store that was mod, and deleted some of the extra prims that I didn't need.  I then decided this store was entirely too big and too primmy to use and de-rezzed the structure, but three prims remained.  I tried deleting them, I tried taking them, I tried returning them, and they just won't go away!  It's the oddest thing.  I can move them around, and I am the owner of them, but I can't seem to do anything to get rid of these three prims from that building.  By the way, it's my island, an estate, and I have full rights there, if that makes a difference.

On the same note, I was building with some sculpties last night, and rezzed an example of one of the items, and the same thing happened.  I can't delete it, I can't take it, I can't return it. It's just stuck there. In this case though, when I'd try to take the item, I'd get a copy of it in my inventory, but the original would remained rezzed and won't go away.

I now have 7 prims on my land that I can't get rid of and it's driving me crazy, lol.  Anyone have any idea what I can do, or why this is happening?  I know SL gets really weird on the weekends, but the original three prims were from earlier this week.  Any suggestions or help anyone could provide would be very much appreciated.  Thanks so much!

1. Check if the Land is deeded to a group

2. If the land IS deeded to a group, make sure your objects aren't rezzed under that groups tag.

3. If they ARE rezzed under the groups tag, then make sure you have the sufficient priveleges to edit the items

Hope these help

I will give it a try. Thanks so much.

and assuming none of those suggestions help, there is a bug currently with some objects remaining after deletion/take/return... they've been nicknamed "immortal" prims.

removing them properly can still be done from the estate manages console (for private estates) or after the region restarts. a few people have had luck moving them offworld, or attaching them (but the latter makes them bugged in inventory, so don't do it to things you care about)

Also check to make sure somehow you didnt Lock them. (check in Edit) I have had plenty of DOH moments only to find I had locked a prim and until you unlock it you can't make it go away.

Not always, I couldn't remove them that way.

Ciaran, that's not good... previously that had been the only reliable method =/

I love the term Immortal Prims.

 

Try restarting the region. That should work. If you are on mainland, pass me the region name in an IM and I'll restart it for you. Reference this thread in the IM so I remember

I had a similar problem, and Luc Starsider just told me a  solution for which I am very grateful. I'll pass it on to spread the knowledge around.

Attach the "immortal prims" to your own body. Then you can detatch them and they disappear into your inventory where they can be deleted if you want.

It worked for me, hopefully it will work for some other people.

beware of this technique as sometimes these prims end up outside of you normal inventory, and clicking on the them in some viewers will crash you... it's safer if you can move the prims offworld

Just to follow up on this post - I was finally able to delete those those original prims from the building I rezzed after trying repeatedly for days.  One day it just finally worked.  I'm not sure why or what changed, they just finally went away when I hit delete, so I'm guessing it was some sort of glitch.  I didn't think to try it from the estate manager option or to reset the sim, butI will keep that in mind in case it happens again. Thank you all for the help!

I had the same exact problem.  I tried everything I could think of.  Kill scripts, setting the prims to Temp, setting them to phantom and physical,  tried to move them off sim into empy space, hit delete a bunch of times, right mouse click on them and delete and take.  Nothing worked.

Finnally I right mouse clicked on them and selected "Wear".  The prims where attached to my right hand.  At this point I the prim showed up in my inventory in the Objects folder.  I then "Detached" the prim and then deleted it out of my inventory.  It worked!!!

I hope this helps.

You may be too far away from the source of the item ..hover your mouse on your screen and it will tell you how far away you are from the object ..get as close as you can to it and then delete it

You are too far away from the thread, by over 4 years.
