The problem occurs because path is selected in the moment when Delete command is used by action. That will cause path to be deleted instead of selection. Workaround is to record step to deselect path before using Delete command. Another solution in case that you do not need path is to duplicate Delete command so it will delete path then selection.

thanks a lot my friend, of course i need to keep the path, but with your double delete you give me a idea, i just duplicate the path in the action, and double delete (its remove the background, and the path 1 copie..) so i keep my original path.

a big thank you help me a lot
