I can not remove a terminal from the connector pane in a sub vi

[gosenbach]

Hello folks.
I am writing a sub VI for my program to handle some basic user input. I based the new sub VI on a VI I already had and just wanted to change some of the input and output data (the VI is for user input via a popup window for the main program). The original VI was using all 28 available connectors and I do not need that many connectors for the new VI. When I show the connector pane in the upper right hand corner and right click to bring up the popup menu, both "add terminal" and "remove terminal" are grayed out. I understand why the "add terminal" is grayed, as I am at the 28 terminal limit. However, I do not understand why it will not let me remove some of the terminals that I no longer need. Have any of you ever seen this before and how do I go about removing some terminals at this point. I am sure that it is just something simple that I am not seeing so if anyone could point me in the correct direction that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, it seems that for the last three patterns, "remove terminal" is greyed out.

My guess is that there is no valid pattern with one less terminal. You can probably disconnect the unneeded terminals, and change to the next lower valid pattern.

A few spare terminals have never hurt anything, just leave them in place. 😉
