how do you delete someone from your tree.
I have entered someone into my tree and since found out that this person is not my relative although he has the same name.I need to delete him and his sons.
please advise

I think you will need to start at the most recent descendant of this person and delete them first and then go back and delete one generation at a time. You can't delete someone if they have descendants without first deleting the descendants.

Assuming you mean a tree on GR, their FAQ's say:

How do I remove someone from my tree?

If you've made a mistake, you simply need to click on 'delete' which you'll see just below the relation's details. You can only delete a name from your tree if it's at the top or the bottom or has no other branches attached to it. For example, you can remove or delete the child of a relation. You will see a message saying you can't delete a relation if other names are attached to that person. You'll need to look at your tree and either remove names from the bottom upwards or from the top down, depending on where the relation is that you want to remove.
