# Deleting Layers
To delete the currently selected layer, click the _**Delete Layer**_ button (**−**), or choose _**Delete Layer**_ from the _**Layer actions menu**_.
Alternatively, you can choose **Arrange > Delete Layer** [**⌃** - **⌘** - **−**] from the menu bar, or simply hit the **Delete**/**Backspace** key. This will remove the layer and all of its objects.
