When I was modeling a hovercraft in Blender, I wanted to delete a metaball, but it deleted another part with it.

I checked, and there seems to be no connection between the two. In fact, the metaball isn't even listed in the Outliner.

Edit: I fixed it. It turns out I was selecting the wrong object.
