After deleting a feature, it does not disappear.

Hello,

under ArcGIS Pro 3.3.0 , after deleting a polygon feature, it does not disappear and stay displayed on the screen. I have to close and open ArcGIS Pro to refresh the screen...

Can you check the layer's caching settings? Right-click and go to properties, there should be a sub-tab for caching. I often find this kind of thing happens due to the cache not being refreshed often enough.

Thank you, good idea but after cleared the cache It's always the same problem, nothing change.

What about disabling caching entirely? Or saving, closing, and reopening the project?

Hello @GregoireCatineau , i suggest to you to first to open the attribute table, then select by attributes and then you will see the feature selected both in the map and the attribute table. When you delete it from the attribute table i think your problem will be solved

Yes, when I close ArcGIS PRo and reopen the projet it's ok.

the deleting works by row selection but when I do CTRL+Z (undo) it don't work so (displaying), even if I disable the cache.

Maybe I have to install the 3.3.1 patch..

Probable you should save the new attribute table after the delete. Another solution-idea which could help you is to duplicate the feature layer and then do the procedure!

Definitely the cache, then. I've only been able to deal with this by completely disabling caching.

Yes - I have encountered this behaviour too with lines in a FGDB. Just have not had time to fire up other computers (with older Pro versions) to double check or figure out what's going on.

I could save edits, and refresh map to have deleted items disappear.

I realized that there were errors while performing my update operations :

Now it's ok :

I had to recreate my ArcGIS Pro Project ( it was created under a previous version of ArcgGIS Pro) and it's seems to work correctly.

Thank you.

Seems to be one of those transient errors that will take me hours to nail down & document to create a support case for. My situation was a new, empty & unsaved project where I opened 2 feature classes from an FGDB to 'quickly' edit. Gave up and did the editing in ArcMap and it worked as expected. Blame sun spots....
