Hi Margar,

The TPaveStats object you want to delete is connected with a histogram. Using the canvas Option menu / Statistics you can toggle its presence but you cannot delete it via the context menu. In addition, you can use gStyle->SetOptStat(0) - to hide it, or gStyle->SetOptStat(1) - to show it. The method Delete is declared in the TObject class that provides the default behavior and protocol for the objects in the ROOT framework. Some objects have options for their deletion, others - not. For this reason the Delete dialog asked you for an option when it appears. Simply answer OK if the object has no option.

Best regards, Ilka
