I just updated photo shop today two version 24.1 and I have noticed delete and fill has been removed. This is really disheartening because it works so much better than content aware fill. Normally you can right click on the selection to access this, but I have looked through all the menus and have not found it since this update.

Good find - but that's how it's been since delete and fill was introduced. As I recall, a key shortcut that only worked if you disabled something else first. The right click method works, though. Well, until I updated and it vanished - it's a huge feature and obviously a bug so I'm sure it will be resolved soon by the good folks at Adobe.

It has been replaced with an updated process:

I am not sure that it is correct that the context menu has been replaced by Shift Delete. That linked page refers to the October release 24.0 and 24.0.1 certainly had the context menu (I saw it this morning). The page also says there is a Delete and Fill Selection context menu. The context menu has disappeared in 24.1.

While Shift Delete will help for now, this looks like a bug.

I lost the feature too. I use windows 11. There's a warning of some kind that if you revert back to a previous version, you won't be able to get new updates. I that correct?

I saw that warning, too. I think it was just meaning that if you go backwards that you intend to stay there. I didn't uninstall first or anything, I just went to the adobe cloud app, then "all apps", clicked the 3 dots next to the open button for photoshop, selected "other versions", and hit 24.0.1. Then it told me 24.1 will be removed and also that warning about updates. However, as soon as it was done reverting - my updates show the 24.1 update available undner updates again. So on mac it worked fine and I can update again whenever.
