[LornaMurison]

To disengage select another tool like the select elements pointer or select features.
To erase flow path tracing use the select elements pointer from the drawing toolbar to select and then delete the lines and points.

The traces and points generated with the flow path tracing tool are simple are graphics. Select them with the "arrow" tool. Under Edit you can choose "Select all Elements" to select them all. Press delete or click the "X" to delete them.  Be carefull with this in layout view!

Since they are graphics, you can convert them to a shapefile using the "Drawing" tool bar menu tool "Convert Graphics to Features".
