# Delete Element

The Delete Element command deletes the element you currently have selected in the Exposure Sheet window or Timeline window. Elements that you delete will not appear in the final animation.

The Delete Element command also deletes drawings and images from the animation set directory if they are not used in another element. For example, if you are deleting a cloned element, Toon Boom Studio will leave the images used by the cloned element in the animation set folder.

Use one of the following to activate this command:

- Select Element > Delete Element.
- Click the Contextual Menu button in the Timeline window and select Delete Element.
