Hello @56legion , I’ve been reading several posts and it seems this bug has been around for quite a while. > [@Why does Unreal 5 insist on bringing back stuff I deleted?](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/why-does-unreal-5-insist-on-bringing-back-stuff-i-deleted/589790): > > Everytime I delete something from the outliner, I SAVE, and come back in and the same things I deleted are back again. Why is this happening, it is truly annoying. To top it off it is cluttering up things. Is this a known issue or is there something I am doing wrong with deleting things. I mean it seems pretty straight forward… Click the Actor, etc. and hit delete… Please help. > [@World Partition - Cannot delete unloaded actors](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/world-partition-cannot-delete-unloaded-actors/525969): > > Im currently using the world partition system, im stuck with these 3 actors that have been deleted from the project, but still remains in the external actors somewhere. I cant load them, and I cant delete them. And the level wont cook because of them. Any good ideas about how to get rid of these? without backing up many changelists. [image] The only solution that consistently seems to work is **deleting the files directly from the file explorer with Unreal closed**.This [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqVSUjKhA2c) explains how to do it. Some people also mentioned that **pinning the actors** can help (though it only worked for a few), and others said that **running Unreal as administrator** might fix the issue. Hope it helps ! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/world-partition-brings-back-actors-that-i-have-deleted/2671608)._
