No undo shortcut, you can undo paste/clear by redoing it.
In Live Rec mode (Rec+Play) you can erase plocked parameters with NO+parameter knob push, all plocked parameters with Fn+NO.
For notes, AFAIK you can’t erase specific notes except removing or modifying trigs, but you can make a pattern copy as backup, or to mess it up.

Yeah, I figured that much out. It’s fine, I fuck up so much im getting good at REC FUNC+CLEAR when im in recording live mode

In Grid recording mode, there is also Page (Scale) + Clear, which clears the active page trigs, and Track + Clear, which clears all trigs of the active track.

Funny enough, there are a couple things way easier on the OT, copy and pasting for one and scrolling to samples. There’s no way to multiple sample import right? you’re just right down yes forever, right
Not multisamples but chains, you can load large ones into statics or smaller ones into flex, be aware that statics though are not quite as flexible (pun intended) as flex WRT to accessing slices due to card read access.
So chains (a long file consisting of many sounds) are accessed using slice mode, they can be used for collections of drum hits, or individual notes or timbres etc, very useful.

Possible with OctaEdit software.

I also came from a DT to the OT. The needs for Parts has some serious advantages, but man it pissed me off at first 
Did you hang on to the DT? Cause I can see the advantages. I returned mine and gave myself a headache
I kept my DT for 2-3 months after I got my OT. At first I used em together, but after awhile I just found myself using the DT less and less, so I sold it to partially fund an A4mk2. No regrets.
So I’ve owned 3 Elektron boxes and though I have loved them all a lot, they all came with a bit of frustration and head scratching. But then again, every hardware box comes with a bit of that, best I can tell.
I recently added 10U of eurorack, which makes my Elektron stuff seem downright sensible and straightforward. Makes them seem crazy affordable too

Here’s my dilemma *I think
With the DT you could really get down and dirty with patterns, conceivably you could have 2 totally different songs on two tracks, you could swap out samples, change notes etc.
I’m still not entirely sure you can do that on the OT. People say “parts” but I feel landlocked to the sounds and the trigs unless I p-loc every trigg, I think? I’m also moving ahead and writing myself into boxes that right now seem too big for the machine, but are probably just too big for my know how. I’m gonna pull up the Merlin guide.
Take it easy man. I told you my way of doing things. The reason it works for me is that that’s how my workflow turned out… and after working with it long enough I could easily change up the way I do things. That’s the beauty of the OT. There are so many ways to accomplish what you want to do, so you never get bored once you get the fundamentals down and practice a lot. Honestly, still the OT can mess with my head. I figure out the problem in minutes instead of hours.
I’d just let the OT control you and play you. And at some point you will learn to play and control it… or sell it and get a DT. Those things are rad. There are very simple looping devices to sit next to it that would make your life easier for the next coming months.

I went through the same thing, but ended up with a monomachine after over 2 years the DT sitting in a box. So glad it all worked out like it did.

I would so love to have a Monomachine!
All I know is I’ve got a sample of the Moog going through an OTO BIM LFO through a Mobius syncopated phase and a Volante with the echo hard panned right all in stereo and Its a sick fucn sample, no way I’m going back to mono DT hahaha
