Objects in some categories inside the Navigator can be deleted by using the Del button or with the context menu (e.g. Graphics, Bookmarks, Comments). Objects in other categories can't be deleted (e. g. Headings, Sections). I don't know if this is intended or if it is a bug. Nevertheless it would be fine, if you can delete all objects inside the Navigator. Hence it is possible to delete a lot of text with such a delete function a warning should be displayed and an acknowledgment of the user should be demanded.

Thanks for bugreport Please, attach small document that demonstrates this problem PS: deleting sections should retain text inside of it. Contents of section just appears outside of section and section itself disappears.
Created attachment 62096 [details] Demonstration file Open text document with LO and follow the instruction inside the document.
Thanks for attachment Problem with undoing bookmarks resembles this: Bug 44131, but creating separate bug for this problem is very welcomed. Deleting Headings: reproducible. IMHO expected that users will double click headers in Navigator and solve problem now in text, not in Navigator. Deleting Sections: reproducible. to remove section, do right mouse click->Edti->Remove. IMHO deleting sections immediately from Navigator makes sense Changing to Enhacement
Undoing of deletion a bookmark: In bug 51741 is described, that a deletion of a bookmark is not seen as a modification of a document. When that bug will be corrected, I expect that it should be possible to undo a deletion of a bookmark.
It's still not possible to delete objects in several Navigator cathegories.
Jim, you make many changes for Navigator now. Possibly this enh WIP also? Or may be we just should close it as dupe of bug 128814?
Hi Roman, I looked at making Section delete. Seems like it would take quite a bit of effort. This can be done in the Edit Sections dialog which can be accessed from the Navigator Sections context menu Edit.. item. WIP on delete for Hyperlink. References content type doesn't have delete either.
Took me a while to figure out how to do this :-). Here's a link to a patch that adds the ability to delete sections using the Navigator: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157802
