Front panel objects can by default only be deleted from the front panel, wires and functions can be deleted from the diagram. You can however allow deletes of all types of objects on the block diagram if you add the following to the .ini file of LabVIEW (located in the same directory as the application):

copyDeleteFPDCOFromFPTerm=true

You can find a complete list of such .ini file options on:

Note: Changes to the .ini file comes into effect the next time you start LabVIEW.

You can delete front panel items from the block diagram, but you have to enable that option first.

Under the Tools menu, select Options, then use the pull down menu to select Block Diagram. Check the box "Delete front panel items from diagram", this will allow you to delete controls and indicators from the Block Diagram.

The option may not take effect until the next time you launch Labview, so you need to close LV and reopen it to see if it takes effect.
