# Deleting Motion Points from a Motion Path

You can remove unnecessary motion points from your motion path. When you remove a control point or keyframe, the path reshapes itself to follow the remaining points.

You cannot remove the start and end keyframes in any motion path.

To delete a point with the pointer:

- Select the control point/keyframe and press [Del].

To delete a point with the Motion Point tab:

1. Select any motion point. You can use the < and > buttons to select any point in order along the motion path.

If you know the exact frame number where the point is, you can type it in the Frame field and press [Enter].

When you select a point, it appears highlighted in the View windows.

2. Click Delete to remove the point.
