Delete a box/shape only

Hi ​@MichaelA 

Start by reassigning its child nodes. Manually drag each child node to a new parent node and then delete the box.

Also, make use of the Mind map associated post which will help you out to learn more user experience.

It would be best if I could share and show. See below.
