I think there may be a bit of confusion between Shift-Del (cut selection) and Ctrl-Del (clear selection). Both appear to 'delete' the selected objects from the workspace, however Shift-Del moves the selection to the Protel clipboard, whereas Ctrl-Del does actually delete the selection.
Both of these work in both Sch and PCB editors as they are both (older) windows style 'hot keys'.
