Deleting part of a font?

I’ve just bought fontcreator 6.5 and im trying to edit a font. I want to delete part of the Y and i cant figure out how to delete an actual part of it. I get you can delete vertexes but then it just moves it to the next one. Ive tried free hand but u cant erase part of whats already there? I cant seem to find anything on google either. I know it must be something really simple but its really starting to aggravate me.

If you’re using the Pro version, the knife tool is easiest. Otherwise, add a node and move it where you want the cut to end, and delete the previous nodes.
