Delete layers

Remember that each layer is document-wide—it appears on every page of a document. Before deleting a layer, consider hiding all other layers first, and then turn to each page of the document to verify that it is safe to delete the remaining objects.

 Do any of the following:
  • To delete a layer, drag a layer from the Layers panel to the Delete icon  or choose Delete Layer [layer name] from the Layers panel menu.

  • To delete multiple layers, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while you click the layers you want to delete. Drag the layers from the Layers panel to the Delete icon or choose Delete Layers from the Layers panel menu.

  • To delete all empty layers, choose Delete Unused Layers in the Layers panel menu.
