What I would ask for is:
1. please rename any "delete" option to "hide", if the actual purpose is to hide an element in a diagram instead of destroying it. Example: the "delete" option in the diagram context menu for any object or connector. Counter Example: the "delete" option for any obejct within the process browser will actually destroy that object - after an explicit confirmation!
2. please provide a diagram context menu entry to actually and irrevokably destroy a connector (or other objects for that matter - however, since connectors are not shown in the project browser there is currently no easy way to get rid of them, even the Edit->Delete Selected Element(s) menu entry is disabled!)
3. please consider to provide the UNDO functionality for the purpose of deleting newly created objects (especially connectors!).
As an aside: I am referring to connectors mostly, there might be other diagram elements with the same problems however (i. e. no easy way to delete) that I am currently not aware of. Therefore it would be nice to make this a feature applicable to all diagram objects, not only one basic type.

I agree with you - delete and hide are different functions and mixing them lead to confusion.
Ctrl+Delete - delete (not hide but delete) everywhere. I'm use this shortcut.

Well, halfway it is, so I added to the topic.
My concern about the ability to destroy (using your terminology) connectors without the need to navigate through a set of dialogs for each of them is sth different though.
Also I don't understand why it's impossible to "undo" a newly created object.
