Node-Red v 4.0.3 - Home Assistant Add-on

I'm trying to delete this item and when I double-click it, there's no delete button. I've already disabled it. Whether disabled or not, I can't delete it. Each time I deploy something, I get a message about it.

You can also delete it using the keyboard by selecting the config node and pressing the delete button.

Wow, thank you. I would have never guessed on that one. I wonder why it wouldn't let me double click in to delete?
