Deletion of parts mid-flight?

[FuzzyPluto]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to ksp, started out about a little while ago on 0.21 and have finally made my first manned landing on Duna! Awesome right? Well little did I realize that in my design of my ship (which is the same as my Mun-lander just with parachutes) I accidentally put a parachute right over the crew hatch! I mean its great and all that I landed there finally but what's the point if my Kerbals can't walk around and explore? Is there any way I can just delete the parachute off my ship now that its landed or are my guys stuck to the confines of their pod for the trip? (Also, uploaded a picture I think but I'm not really good with that stuff either so might not help.)

You might be able to use the "whack a kerbal" in the alt-f12 menu to surgically remove that piece. I would suggest quick saving before trying anything in case you overdo it.
