Is there a way to delete only a specific object without going into the object list?

[Soul8]

When I am charting I tend to have a couple objects on it at the same time, and when I highlight an object to delete it on the chart without doing so through the object list, it many times deletes all of the objects on the chart. Is there a way to just delete the specific object without them all chained together from the chart alone...or is using the object list necessary.

1. The delete key deletes all selected objects, not all objects.
2. Right-click an object → Delete instead.
3. Or right-click an object → Unselect All before deleting.

Ty Willaim, that is much better :)
