Hi Randy,
Right click on a pad and choose "Delete from net".

Thanks,Alex. That deletes the whole net, is there any way to delete an individual segment?

It deletes ratline(s) from selected pad only but doesn't delete whole net.

I tried to delete from net but another route that starts from the same pad is deleted. How do I delete only the desired net ?

To delete only one segment of ratline you can draw new ratline over already drawn segment.

I think what Serg is saying is...
1) Unroute the unwanted trace segment to show its ratline by right-clicking on it and choosing "Unroute Segment" in the context menu.
2) Select/enable the "Place Ratline" tool.
3) Draw/drag another ratline over the existing ratline and, when the context menu appears, click on "Delete Ratline".

With a ratline that already exists (no trace), execute steps 2 and 3 as outlined in my previous post. Here's where you can find the "Place Ratline" tool...
