This may be surprising, but your expression is a valid query: It’s a path expression starting with an initial child::delete step.

Expressions like this fail silently without raising an error in BaseXGUI:
delete //m/@n
Of course, it should be:
delete nodes //m/@n
But there should be an error to remind me ;->

DOH.
Yeah, you're right.

Written for BaseX 9.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
