You should just delete and replace the component. If you "refresh symbol" you will trash all the text positioning work that you have already done. If you want to remove text from the silk of a component, change the subclass of the text from silkscreen top or bottom to display top bottom. In the past, we have noticed that when you delete a silkscreen ref des, the database would sometimes get corrupted. You should use the board geometries for silk and assembly text/legends that you want to add to the design. This keeps the design neat and predictable when it is revisited in the future.

If select the silkscreen or display subclass, the text is just a note and can not add again. The problem is that I deleted two component's refdes by mistake, but I would not like to update all the component with that package symbol. I can not find the way to update only the particular component. Who can tell me how to update the particular component's symbol or how to make the text added to the RefDes class and Silkscreen subclass attached to the component?
