You can attach nearly any 3d object you build to your body in any of 30 points on your avatar's skeleton. Sometimes you may do this by accident and want to remove the object.

There are various ways to detach attached objects:

Via Context Menu (a.k.a pie menu)

  • Right-click on the object (make sure the point on your mouse is right on the specific object surface)
  • choose Detach

Via Global Menu

  • Go to the Edit menu
  • select Detach Object
  • then pick the highlighted skeletal region where the object is attached

Remove all attachments at once

  • Right click on your avatar
  • select Take Off > Detach All (this will remove all attachments)

If all of these fail to work, then the attachment is probably "ghosted" (not really there, but still shows so). The only reliable way to clear ghosting is to log out of Second Life and log back in again.
