When you want to delete a layer, simply right-click the layer in the Layer Mini Bar. From the pop-up menu click Delete. A warning will pop up advising you that this procedure can’t be undone. If you still want to delete the layer, click the OK button. If you want to keep the layer, click the Cancel button.
Another way to delete a layer is from the Layer Panel. There you can click the Delete button. A warning will pop up advising you that this procedure can’t be undone.
If you still want to delete the layer, click the OK button. If you
want to keep the layer, click the Cancel button.
Tip: Before deleting a layer, you should save a Restore Point for the work-in-progress. This way, you can recover the deleted layer should you need to do so. To save a Restore Point, select the menu File > Save Restore Point.
Once the restore point is made and a layer is deleted, you can easily recover the deleted layer. To do this, select the menu File > Revert To Manually Saved Restored Point. A warning will appear advising you that this procedure can’t be undone. If you still want to recover the layer, click the OK button. If you don’t want to recover the layer, click the Cancel button.
Keep in mind that recovery will not work if you open the “cleansed” layer, add new images to it, and then save a new restore point. Nor will it work if you save another restore point that has nothing to do with the layer you deleted. New restore points overwrite previous restore points. A way to get around this situation is to save separate TBR files of different stages of the work-in-progress without overwriting them. Doing this can consume a lot of disk space, but, on occasion, the effort can prove worthwhile. Once you are satisfied with your results, you can delete the unneeded files.
