How to Prevent Deleting Grid?

This mostly happens with dungeons, but when I say delete a room, it often selects part of the grid, or the entire grid. Thus, the grid is being deleted. I cannot seem to avoid selecting it. Is there a way to prevent deleting the grid?

Best way to handle that is to make sure the layer the grid is on is frozen. That's usually the HEX/SQUARE GRID layer.
I would also consider making it hidden unless you're using it or actively editing it. I find it visually distracting when I'm working.
I needed the grid for drawing purposes. I would have rather used guide lines that I can insert to divide the image up, but I could not find that option. So, I used the grid to help me find the middle of things by counting the squares. It also helped me space the rooms appropriately.
Freezing the layer worked. I was looking for something that said grid, but it just listed Hex/Square as the layer. I just kept overlooking it.
Since I am on the issue of deleting, I noticed I can select multiple objects to delete at once. Is there a way to unselect one without starting over?
Yes, just hold down the control key and click on an entity to deselect it.
