    Hi, 

     

    Here is a work around.

     

    go to Find panel (Shift+F5 is the shortcut), Change atatched to as ContactSurfs as shown in the image and Find for elements attached to the Contact surface you are interested and click Save found in the same panel.

     

    Now go to delete panel, Double click on Elements selector and click 'Retrieve'. This will fetch the saved elements and click delete.
