How to delete shapes and all corresponding connectors in draw.io?

I have to remove shapes from diagrams now and then. Usually, these shapes are connected to other elements. Is it possible to also delete all outgoing or incoming connections?

Hi there. Yes, that’s possible. Click on the shape of your choice and hit “Ctrl+Shift+Delete” (Cmd on a Mac). It will delete the shape and all of the connectors that are either going to or coming from that shape.
