# Deleting Elements

As you develop your animation, you may need to delete unnecessary elements.

For example, when you complete your final drawings of a character, you can delete the elements that contained the roughs.

To delete an element from your animation:

1. Select the element you want to remove.

2. Select Element > Delete Element. Toon Boom Studio removes the element and its contents from your animation and from your animation set folder.

If you want to only hide an element in a scene, you do not need to delete it from the scene completely! You can temporarily toggle it on and off, which not only hides it from the Drawing View/Camera View window, but also from the rendering process too!
