Live Netlisting
First, let’s delete the J2 connector on the schematic. Switch to the Proteus tab, right click and
select delete object from the resulting context menu.

Now switch back to the PCB tab. Note that the J2 part has been dimmed to show that it is not
present on the schematic and that the connectivity status shows that we have pending changes
(we are out of sync).

Since the action taken in Proteus removes from the board it requires manual confirmation. We
can now either hit undo (CTRL+Z) if we don't like the change or we can click on 'Changes
Pending' in the connectivity status to accept the change. When we do this, the 'shadow' part will
disappear.
Clicking on Changes Pending will remove J2 and correct the netlist
Note that tracks that were connected will also be deleted. If you want instead to
delete only the footprint (leaving the connected tracks in place as stubs) then you
can do so by directly deleting the package in the layout.
The undo system is still available to revert the changes. Clicking on the UNDO icon (or
CTRL+Z) once will bring back the shadow objects and repeating the process a second time will
bring back the schematic part and the real PCB footprint.
