# Removing Element

Removing an element in **Page Designer** allows you to quickly clean up unwanted components from your page layout.

***

### How to Remove an Element

1. **Select the element** you want to remove on the design canvas.
2. An **options (tool) menu** appears above the selected element.
3. Click the **Delete** icon from the options menu.

***

### Confirm Deletion

After clicking the Delete icon, the system displays a **confirmation dialog** asking whether you want to proceed.

* Click **Yes, delete it** to permanently remove the element.
* Click **Cancel** (or close the dialog) to keep the element on the page.

Once confirmed, the element is immediately removed from:

* The **design canvas**
* The **page structure hierarchy**

***

### Important Notes

* Deleted elements **cannot be restored** unless you undo the action immediately (if supported) or re‑add the element manually.
* If the element is a **container**, all child elements inside it will also be removed.
* Always **save your page** after making changes to ensure the deletion is committed.

***

### Summary

Removing an element in Page Designer is simple and safe:

* Select the element
* Click the Delete icon
* Confirm the deletion

This process helps keep your page layout clean and ensures only required components remain in the final design.
