Layers are one of the most important features in Photoshop. They allow you to make changes to your image without affecting the rest of the image.

However, there may come a time when you need to delete a layer. Maybe you created a layer by mistake, or maybe you no longer need the layer. Whatever the reason, deleting a layer is easy to do.

To delete a layer, simply click on the layer in the Layers panel and then click on the trash can icon. This will delete the layer and all of its contents.

PRO TIP: Deleting a layer in Photoshop will also delete any content on that layer. If you do not want to delete the layer, but simply remove its content, you can use the “Clear” command instead.

You can also delete a layer by right-clicking on it and then selecting Delete Layer from the menu. This will also delete the layer and all of its contents.

If you need to delete multiple layers at once, you can do so by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each layer that you want to delete. Then click on the trash can icon to delete all of the selected layers.

Conclusion:

Deleting a layer in Photoshop is easy to do. Simply click on the layer in the Layers panel and then click on the trash can icon. You can also delete a layer by right-clicking on it and then selecting Delete Layer from the menu.
