I have an old KML overlay I cannot get rid of. I have tried the following several times:

Keep KML overlays (Restore KML overlays after restarting the app) = OFF

Delete KML cache (Remove KML icons cached) = Did this

Overlay options: Remove Overlay: Chose this. It says "Removed all overlays" but there is still an overlay.

Any ideas? Maybe I will have to uninstall and reinstall with my settings file.

Thanks.

Hola has probado la opción de limpiar capas?
Icono mapa/opciones de capa/ limpiar capa.

Talvez puede ser que no tengas cargado el kml como capa(superposición) y lo tengas cargado como track.
Puedes comprobar en "ajustar capas" todos los kml que tienes activados como superposición.

Google Translate:

Hello, have you tried the clean layers option?

Map icon / layer options / clear layer.

Perhaps it may be that you do not have the kml loaded as a layer (overlay) and you have it loaded as a track.

You can check in "adjust layers" all the kml that you have activated as an overlay.

Hola. Please see attached image for current menu structure.

>> Map icon / layer options / clear layer: I think you mean "Remove Overlay"? Yes. I have tried this many times.

>> Actually a track? No, it is a KML that was never a track.

Hello NuevoMexicoUSA,
can you please post a screenshot of the map with the overlay and the symbols at the top left of the screen?

Hello NuevoMexicoUSA

I already did an uninstall and reinstall

The data directories were not changed and I quickly loaded the Profile I had saved off (I copy these to GDrive, but the file was not removed during the reinstall)

This only took a few minutes and everything works perfectly now, with Orux's unique interpretation of KML "layers" being turned on and off with a long press

I would guess the quote below still applies

Thanks

2012: "kml is a very complex format, with a lot of tags. but I will work in the future with more tags (including styles) https://oruxmaps.forumotion.com/t698-import-waypoints-from-kml-icons-support-and-sync-with-google-my-maps

I figured out what causes this problem.

If you click on a downloaded KML file with an Android file browser and "Open with OruxMaps" Just once / Always, this makes the overlay persistent.

I cannot remove it from Orux by deleting the file, clearing, restarting, etc. The only thing that works is reinstalling Orux.
