Deleting a Slide Object

INTRODUCTION

You can remove a slide object you no longer need. For example, you can delete clip art or a picture file from your slide. If you delete a slide object that was part of the original layout, PowerPoint displays the original placeholder box for the object on the slide. If you delete a slide object that was later added to the layout, no placeholder box appears.

TIP

Permanently Removing Placeholders

To completely remove a placeholder object from your slide layout, select the empty placeholder, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
