What is it you're trying to delete that you're having the trouble with?
As an alternate way to Delete things, click on an object to select it, then press your Delete key on your keyboard.

Sounds like you need to delete the whole crossing. Look for the red ball next to it. Also. Allot of keyboard short cuts work when in the editor. Like when building a route and you want to do allot of copy pasting. Ctrl + C = copy Ctrl + V = Paste etc, etc.....

yeah but if i do how do i restore the traffic? cause it will pull up and stop but won't move again after the train goes past. cause theres a blue box for the bell sound for the crossing and then another box with a dimond inside that as i understand is controlling the traffic. how do i restore that?

That looks like a sounds emitter, and there is another set of crossing guards already there. What is it you are trying to do?

right the 2nd set of guards is the ones i want. but that sounds emitter is tied into the old gates im trying to delete. i checked it. some how or the other ya can't copy and paste that. also some how that has the movement of the traffic tied into it. heres the diamond im talking about inside that sound emitter. Image how do i keep this but get rid of the old gates?

I've run into the same problem in the scenario editor: I place an object, right click to avoid placing another copy, then left-click on the object I just places and nothing happens. Sometimes, moving the camera around helps, but quite often that object just does not respond to a click. This happens most often with people. A few days ago, I discovered that clicking near the person and dragging out a circle "captures" the figure, which can then be deleted and, in some cases, moved. Something interesting is that in these cases, the repositioning device (that multi-colored ball & arrows device) is located off to the side of the object rather than very close to it as is usual. Next time I run into this, I'll take a few screenshots.

Regards,
