Immortal lot removal

[mark]

I stumbled across this trick when changing a large city's maxis street's to one of the SAM textures, on several plop attempts I managed to incorrectly place the SAM starter piece and bang one immortal lot.

No1: Ive placed the maxis jail (but have used this method on all my immortal lots)



No2: one immortal lot.



No3: The lot is immortal and no amount of clicking will remove it.



No4: Now for the trick using the low density residential zoning tool draw a road through the lot use the bulldozer tool to delete all the roads and the immortal lot should highlight red.



No5: Use the bulldozer tool to delete all the roads (the immortal lot should highlight red).Then De-zone the unwanted residential zones and the land is yours again.



Hope you find this as useful as i have.

THANK YOU!  I tried everything to get rid of an "immortal" train station and was about to revert to a saved city version which would have caused me to throw away hours of work.  Your solution was magic.
