Delete entity not working

[Kitty_cre]

on item merge of gold ingot:
cancel event
set {_var} to uncolored line 1 of the lore of event-item
replace all ")" with "" in {_var}
replace all "(" with "" in {_var}
set {_var} to ({_var} parsed as number)
add 1 to {_var}
drop 1 iron sword
# drop {gold::%{_var}%}
delete entity from event-item

or

uncancel event
kill event-item


how would i delete the items after they have merged

Did you try kill event-item or delete event-item yet?

 

[Kitty_cre]

yes

try clear event-item and see if that works. I don't even think you have to use event-item at all.
