I installed KeyTouch, but it decided that the delete key should be the KeyTouch hot key. So, when I pressed deleted, KeyTouch came up. Next I uninstalled KeyTouch and now the delete key doesn't do anything.

Is there any way to remap the delete key to actually delete?

Notes:

• I tried reinstalling KeyTouch, and the same thing happens.
• KeyTouch does not allow the user to map the delete key.

EDIT

• xev shows keycode 119 when I press the delete key
• xmodmap shows keycode 119 mapped to Delete NoSymbol Delete
• running xmodmap -e "keycode 119 = Delete" from the command line does not resolve the issue
