The tensile strain is a promising tool for creation and manipulation of magnetic solitonic textures in the chiral helimagnets via tunable control of magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Here, by using the in-situ resonant small-angle x-ray scattering we demonstrate that the skyrmion and chiral soliton lattices can be achieved as metastable states in FeGe lamella as distinct states or even simultaneously by combining the tensile strain and magnetic fields in various orientations with respect to the deformation. The small-angle scattering data are discussed in the frame of the analytical model which is sufficient to describe the experimental results for soliton lattice. By using the experimental results and analytical theory, unwinding of the metastable skyrmions in the perpendicular magnetic field as seen by small-angle scattering experiment was analyzed by the micromagnetic simulation.
