cannot delete end point from a previously deleted line

[KKerr23]

I am trying to extrude a sketch I drew up and every time it tells me the sketch has unsuitable geometry. I went through and deleted any overlapping lines and closed off any gaps that were still laying around. However, though I have a feeling the reason for this is because of endpoints that were not deleted when previous lines were taken out. I have tried to delete the points but I get an error saying that it cannot be deleted. Anyone know how to solve this remedy?

Use the 'selected contours' option in the extrude command and see what, if anything, it will let you extrude. This should help you find your issue.

Have you tried deleting the complete sketch?

 

[Updraft]

A) You cannot delete endpoints in a sketch, only line segments and asterisk points.
B) could you possibly have what is known as "Zero Thickness Geometry"? The SWX Help does a good job of explaining this.
C) Can you post your model or sketch? Chances are someone will be able to very quickly identify the problem for you.

Try running "tools\sketch tools\ check sketch for features.... (alt+S). I usually leave the feature usage as the default and just click check. It will check your sketch for a bunch of errors and usually will give you a zoom window of where the problem is.

Sometimes I get these, but they're gone after I close and reopen the sketch.

The other possibility is an entity off in left field. Zoom all (shortcut = F) and select all to see if you have some fliers out there.
