# Deleting a Layer or Layer Group

You can delete a layer or a layer group from the project at any time.

**To delete a layer or a group**:

1. Hover over the layer or group you want to delete until the action icons appear.
2. Click the **Delete** icon ![](/files/wSGwDnYoOBN7vNkder2S).\
   If you delete a **layer**, it will immediately be removed from both the map and the **Layers** section.\
   If you delete a **group**, it will disappear from the **Layers** section, and all layers it contained will be moved to its former position in the list, outside of the group.
