UltraScatter Pro and Editing Instances

Is there a way to edit instances made with UltraScatter Pro? For exapmle, I'm making a city and I like the overal placement...except for a few buildings that overlap a hand-placed castle. I'd like to delete those few buildings from the instance. I tried doing this with InstaEdit, but it doesn't work so well with instances created by UltraScatter because once they convert, they lose all the random scaling and rotation that was created by UltraScatter. I tried using Instances+ to do the scatter instead, and that tool doesn't feel very intuitive if you're trying to scatter over a giant landscape, especially one that is not level (plus I like the ability to limit to a specific camera). 

*edit*

It seems I can do that with this tool - https://www.daz3d.com/ultra-scenery-toolbox--volume-ii. Even though it was made for UltraScenery, it says it also works with UltraScatter.

    The general functionality to split apart these grouped instances to manipulate or delete specific ones is Edit -> Object (or Figure) -> Instances -> Break Instance Group.

    That worked perfectly, thank you! I was lead to believe that it wouldn't work for UltraScatter instances.
