Difficulties with table-delete-table in Libre Writer

[Shansie]

I have a table that was originally in a word document I received from a teacher. I don't need the table, only the rest of the document. I've tried to delete the table using cut, backspace, and table>delete>table, but it isn't going anywhere. The instructions I followed to delete the table using table>delete>table are here:

When I click in (or highlight, neither has been working) the table, I click the table tab, mouse over delete, and the box pops up with "table, rows, columns" as options. Problem is, they're grayed out.

Is there another way to do this? I don't want to use ink to print out an empty table or use paper to leave a blank area where it is.

I had one like that recently. In my case the problem was having tables inside tables. For that I had to be very careful to select only the inner table and not the cell which surrounded it. I eventually found a spot in the upper lefthand corner of the inner table's border.
