Hello,
Please begin to attach the score involved and describe what you do with precise steps. It' would be really the best way to help and figure out.

Depending on exactly what is going on in your score, a general way that would normally work to delete the contents of voice 2 would be to select the passage, use the Selection Filter to remove voice 1 from the selection, then press Delete. Be sure to re-enable voice 1 in the filter afterwards or you will have difficultly selecting things after that!
attached is a 1 bar example the real thing is about 40 bars. As you see there are a lot of rests in the violin parts, so how is the voice removed in preference to being just hidden?

Select measure, right click on a Rest, more, same subtype, same section, del

And for the second violon part (third staff) you have first to exchange Voice1/Voice 2, because rests in Voice 1 can't be deleted.

same subtype is greyed in and I cannot check it, I have got one of the below to work

sorry, I meant 'same voice' not 'same suptype'

The steps I listed above work perfectly in this example: select the passage, use Selection Filter to exclude voice 1, then hit Delete.
That won't work for parts where the rests are in voice 1 - you have to always have content in voice 1. So for those measures, you'd want to use Edit / Voices / Exchange Voice 1-2 to swap the voices first.

I've got this one to work: the selection filter is from the dropdown not from right click.

@Marc Sabatella
Thankyou so much! The method worked perfect for editing my score
In reply to @Marc Sabatella Thankyou so… by Catloaf
Yeah, this worked well for me too! I was a bit confused at first, so to recap:
(If you see Add> instead of Select> when you right-click, you clicked on whitespace. Just try again!)
