Hold the mouse cursor over the unit, then press the Delete button.

Are they attached to a leader? If so, they will spawn in formation with that leader regardeless of where you put them.

If you want to de-attach them from a leader, just press F2, click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the mouse cursor off the unit.

Are you in Group mode? i.e. F2? You'll need to use another one like: F1, F3, F4, F5 and F6 to be able to move individual units.

Have a look at this Wiki article : Mission Editor, particularly the basic controls section.

>>when i spawn 'units' it wont let me move em around, only spin them

Holding down shift and left click+holding on a unit will normally allow you to spin units. Maybe windows "sticky keys" is causing this problem? What do you mean by "spawn". To me this implies creating a unit while the mission is running (ie, not in the mission editor).

i mean when spawned in the editor

i also want to know, how can I spawn a vehicle with no one in it (if i can)

You don't spawn anything in the editor, it's not real-time. You place units in the editor.

You can place empty vehicles in the mission editor, read the wiki article I posted for details.

short version : you must have placed a player first, then , when placing the next object, select empty as side

Sounds like you're holding shift.
