how do I remove a subvi

How do I remove a subVI from the main VI and return to the original VI without subVI?

All you have to do is delete the the vi and fix anything that it might break.

Or, if you're using source code control, simply go back to an earlier revision. You're using source code control, right?

Let me be more specific. I have a VI and I created an automatic subVI by selecting several items and using Edit>>Create SubVI. But, then (after saving/closing the file) I realised that I didn't want to create that particular subVI. Is there a simple way to undo the subVI and return to the original VI without subVIs?

I am not familiar with source code control.

Search for an inlining tool that was posted on this forum (If I remember correctly it was Damiens developements, you find a list at the breakpoint forum). Run this on the vi to getget the code inline again. But: this is using scripting, so back-up your work befor running this tool. It's not really safe.

1. Add "inlineSubVIEnabled=TRUE" to your Labview.ini file.
2. Open the main VI, right-click the subVI, and select "Inline subVI".
3. select the desired inlining options at the dialog.

(What is your LabVIEW version? I don't remember when this feature got introduced)

Inlining was introduced in LabVIEW 7.1, but it was very buggy.  I would not trust it without a full backup before about LabVIEW 8.0 (the inlining code I posted earlier will crash LabVIEW 7.1 in most cases).  Since it was an internal feature, it did not have to work in all cases.
