Removing NPCs from Combat tracker WITHOUT deleting them (5E)

I have several NPCs that were at one time combatants and in the Combat Tracker. (Horses, villages, surrender opponents, etc.) I can remove them from the combat tracker, but doing so deletes them from the map. Is there a way to remove non-combatants from the combat tracker and leave their tokens on the battle mat?

You can't directly leave a token that was linked to a CT entry on the map. However you can do a work-around - before removing the creature, open the NPC sheet from the CT (click the link to the right side of the entry), then drag/drop the token from the NPC sheet to the map - this will create a stand alone token (purely the graphic, no data) that isn't linked to the CT record. Then you can delete the CT record.

You could also use SkipTurn to skip their turn in the combat tracker.

Combat groups could do it. But its a paid for thing in forge. If there is something free to do what you'd want I'd go with that.
