Can't delete windows/elements

I can't delete windows in Archicad. They are just flowting in the air. I hve tried to 'unlock' but that didn't work. Please help!

Can you post an image of what you can't delete?

Are the windows floating outside of a wall?

If you can't select them in 3D (use the selection magnet to select by the surface rather than trying to find a node), can you select them in plan easier?

I have deleted them on the floorplans. They disappear there, but stay visiable in the 3d. 

It is hard to say from an image, but I would suspect those widows along the bottom belong to a wall on another storey.

The heights don't match the storey so they do not show in plan when you can see the wall.

 

You should be able to select them in 3D.

Maybe not by clicking on the corner nodes, but by using the selection magnet and clicking on the glass or frame surface.
