Deleting Object from Object navigator in Oracle reports 11g

I have an object called B_19 which I am not able to find in "paper layout". The object is a "Text_Field" and I would like to delete the object. Is there a way to find, where it is located or Is there an option to delete from Object Navigator?

Solution

What I'm going to say can't fit a comment. I'm answering to this:

Yes I did.It just deleted the name not the object

That's strange. I'm on 10g, though, and tried to do the same: in

Object navigator's Paper Layout > Main section > Body > R_1 frame
I clicked B_10 fields,
pressed the DEL key on the keyboard
Reports asks "Delete/close the object(s) selected?"
Saying "Yes" deletes it from both Paper Layout editor and Object navigator.

Unfortunately, unlike Forms, we can't resize a field in its Property Inspector (and make it large enough to be seen in the Layout Editor) ...

However, if you edit (with Notepad or any other text editor) the .RDF file and search for that field (for example, B_10 in my report), you'll see something like this:

        <text name="B_10">
          <textSettings justify="center"/>
          <geometryInfo x="9.37679" y="19.09868" width="8.31236"
           height="0.37052"/>
          <textSegment>
            <font face="Arial" size="8"/>
            <string>
            <![CDATA[(potpis ovlaštene osobe)]]>
            </string>
          </textSegment>
        </text>

See the geometryInfo; it shows field's location. Width and height are, in your case, probably 0 (zero). See if you can "select" it in Layout Editor (knowing its location) and delete it.

Another option is to save that report as a JSP file. Edit it (in Notepad), search for B_10 and delete the whole <text> ... </text> section. If you open the .JSP in Reports Builder, that field will be gone.

Note that it works only for .JSP; won't work for .RDF files (I know, I tried it).

Hopefully, something of the above will help you get rid of that field. Good luck!
