Thank you for the answer, but i dont want to use potlatch.
Isn’t there any other solution for my problem.

like polygon.remove?

polygon = new OpenLayers.Control.DrawFeature(vectors, OpenLayers.Handler.Polygon);
map.addControl(polygon);
polygon.activate();

and some times later i just want to write a function to remove that polygon.

Cheers,
frotho

Your question is for OpenLayers rather than OSM.
See Vector object documentation on the OpenLayers wiki.

Oh and please don’t delete the object in Potlatch. :slight_smile:
