Orient-DB delete edge

Question

I'm new to Orient-DB and am a little confused as to why I can't delete an edge.

I've created two classes: Tag (extends V) and parent (extends E). I've populated with 3 sample tags.

I've then created an edge between #18:1 and #18:0 using the following command, this works as expected

create edge parent from #18:1 to #18:0

However if I then try and delete the edge with the following command nothing seems to change. The result of the command is

delete edge parent from #18:1 to #18:0

Documentation: https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb/wiki/SQL-Delete-Edge

Even if I use Orient-DB studio to delete the edge nothing changes. I do this by going to one of the records expanding the incoming/outgoing edges, pressing the X and confirming.

The only way I was able to delete it was to delete the edge from the parent class with

delete from parent where @rid=#19:0

However this won't work if I use lightweight edges. I'm using OrientDB community 1.7-rc1 as a standalone server on Windows 8.1.

Thanks.
