Deleting Single Instance of Hotlink

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm fairly new to archicad being a revit user and still trying to get my head around a few things. Can anyone tell me how you delete one instance of a hotlink rather than break/delete the host link? I have tried imbedding the hotlink and deleting the elements but with no success. No layers are locked either. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

With groups enable (toggle: alt + g), just select any element in the instance of the hotlink you wish to delete and it will select that entire instance, even across stories, of which you can then delete. While groups are suspended, you cannot change anything with an instance of a module.

It would be nice if you could still move modules with groups suspended if you have selected all elements within the module... Quite a few times I have tried to move several things including modules and left half the things behind due to them being part of a module...
