Why Can’t I Delete My Artboard in Photoshop?

PRO TIP: If you’re trying to delete an artboard in Photoshop and it’s not working, it’s probably because you have the wrong layer selected. Make sure you have the artboard layer selected in the Layers panel, then go to the Edit menu and choose Delete Artboard.

You may have noticed that you cannot delete an artboard in Photoshop like you can a layer. This is because artboards are a relatively new addition to Photoshop, and as such, there are still some kinks to be worked out. For now, the only way to delete an artboard is to select it and then press the delete key on your keyboard.

If you’re wondering why you can’t delete your artboard in Photoshop, it’s most likely because you’re trying to delete the wrong thing. Artboards are a new addition to Photoshop, and as such, they’re still not quite as intuitive as layers. When you try to delete an artboard, you’re actually just deleting the contents of that artboard – not the artboard itself.

To delete an artboard in Photoshop, simply select it and press the delete key on your keyboard. This will remove the artboard from your project, leaving the other artboards intact.
