It seems that a group of Output cells (graphics or not) is not deleted unless it follows an Input cell. Slightly inconsistent with the on-line help. But IMHO, the help should be tweaked, not the operation. In most cases of my experience, and orphan Output cell has been pasted in from some somewhere else, and so it cannot be easily regenerated. So I am *pleased* that an orphan is not deleted by this command. Tom Burton
