Need to delete an item in Second Life?

Ok, I'll try this one more time. I asked this question a few weeks ago but didn't receive any helpful answers.

I received a "Shining Star" as a freebie prize in a hunt. I rezzed the star in my apartment thinking it was a box, but instead I got a star that flies around the apartment.

I've tried many times to delete it, but I can't. I've selected "Take", "Delete", "Return", etc from the menu and each time the star returns to my inventory and rezzes another copy of itself. I believe it has scripts in it which automatically replicate it when it's de-rezzed.

I've contacted the creater but he hasn't been much help. He's almost never online. The permissions on the star are no modify so I have not been able to delete the scripts.

I've asked for help ingame but everyone just assumes I'm stupid or a noob that doesn't understand how to return an object. They just explain how to select "Take" on the pie menu.

    Hi, I think i tried answering that a few weeks back. Now here is one thing I didnt add in. Try highlighting all your transparent objects.

    two ways to it

    1) go to View - highlight transparent

    or

    2) Cltr+Alt+T

    This will highlight all the transparent things you have on your land and give it a red glow. then all you need to do it look for that box that you have taken out and click and delete it. You might have rezzed more than one box? Either that or what you do after selecting the box is go into the content under edit menu and delete the scripts inside.

    Usually a reboot of the entire sim will stop it from happening once you have taken the box away. So if all else fails, you may have to wait for a restart.

    I hope you get to get rid of it this time. I hate particles in sl. They can get annoying.
