Cindy,
When you deleted points, you should have noticed whether they were straight 
(triangle) or curved (circle) points. Unless, of course, you were deleting the 
actual stitches.  
If you are working with an OFM file or a CND you can split an element into 
multiple elements.  This makes it easier to manipulate the design if you need 
to.
  
The following is from the help section in DS, I hope it helps: 
(Available in DesignShop and higher product levels)

You have the ability to split elements using this feature. You must first 
select a point in your element where you would like the split to occur. Then 
click on the Split Element button or select Edit->Split Element. The point that 
you had selected will exist in both of the new elements. You can split all 
types of columns, complex fills, and walk stitches. The following rules apply:

You can only split on a straight point, not on a curved point, because 
splitting on a curved point would change the shape of the element.

You cannot split at the ends of an element.

For Column 2, you must select two points to split, one on each side. Hold down 
the CTRL key to select multiple points.

For Column 1, you can only select one point because column 1s have matching 
pairs.

For Complex Fills and Complex Columns, you must select two points to split. 
Hold down the CTRL key to select multiple points.

Hopefully this helps some/
Debbie
