To delete fixtures first you must be in the patch menu. Then press delete, select the fixture(s) and finally [Confirm] to remove.

the titan wants to delete all fixtures in a same location. but I would like to delete only parked fixtures and leave the ''main'' fixture that was there before parking the extra fixtures. maybe I did something wrong?

I don't think I understand. Perhaps you can give an example?

example.
when I start to programm my show I creat one chenal for hause lights [CH-1]. later (in a tour situation) I park as much hause light channel I want [+CH-2 +CH-3 +CH-4]. now I have CH-1 thru CH-4 for hause lights (one fixture) and its keeps my show tidy. but in a situation when I have less hause light channels than in my previous show, I want to delete parked channals 3 and 4 but keep CH-1 and CH-2 as it was in a previous show. now when I need to delete same parked fixtures I pach those fixtures on non-existent dmx adress but I want simple delete those.
I hope that my question became clearer

If I understand you correctly you are talking about multiple dimmers on the same handle?
There is currently an issue where parking a dimmer where multiple dimmers exist on a handle results in the parked dimmer disappearing completely. However, the remaining dimmers are unaffected and any programming associated with the handle is retained. So parking dimmers in this situation does in fact delete them as you require, even if that is technically wrong. As a consequence rather than readdressing the parked dimmers you must patch new ones over the top.
