Broken in-context references

Hi,

I'm working on a copy of a sketch which originally had some in-context references.

In the current version those references are not required.

The copied sketch shows a broken in-context references error.

It doesn't appear to be causing any problems but I can't see how to delete them to clean things up?

The error appears like this:

In-context error 2.png In-context error.png

If I hover over the error in the feature tree then two lines are also highlighted in magenta but I couldn't capture the image while hovering.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

    Open the sketch, select the broken reference (that little square flag with the leader that clings to the sketch item) right in the sketch and hit delete.

    Thank you but I don't have those flags?
