Deleting items in the Layers palette


    Deleting a layer also deletes all artwork that is in the layer. For example, if you delete a layer that contains sublayers, groups, paths, and clipping sets, all those elements will be deleted along with the layer.

To delete items in the Layers palette:

  1. Select an item in the Layers palette.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click the Trash button  the Delete Symbol button in the Layers palette, or drag the item onto the Trash button.
    • Choose Delete "Layer name" from the Layers palette menu.

    Note: A document must have a least one layer. If a document has only one layer, the Trash button and Delete command are not available.
