How to Delete an Object

Briefly

Select the object and choose Delete (Object) from the Edit menu.

This command is useful but drastic. You may just want to hide the object instead of deleting it.

Also, before you delete, think about what other objects depend on the one you're deleting. For example, if you delete a collection, its graphs will no longer have data.

Shortcut: press (both Windows and Mac) or -D (Mac).

Alternative: Choose Delete (Object) from the contextual menu for the object.
