Hi,

Please see the example below, where the key is to apply O.bodies.erase to the clump body (its id) itself:

def interrogate(b):
    '''Handy test function'''
    print('is body',b.id,'part of a clump ?',b.isClumpMember,not b.isStandalone,'(of clump with id',b.clumpId,'if yes)')

for z in [0,2]: O.bodies.append(sphere((0,0,z),1))
clumpId = O.bodies.clump([0,1]) # creating the clump
print('\nInitially:')
interrogate(O.bodies[0])

O.bodies.erase(clumpId) # removing the clump

print('\nAfter clump erasing:')
interrogate(O.bodies[0])

Can you help with this problem?
