Deleting Slides from Presentations


You may find that a slide you created is not really necessary in your presentation, and you want to remove it. PowerPoint makes it easy to delete slides from a presentation.



To delete a slide:

  1. Select the slide you want to delete.
  2. Select Delete Slide from the Edit menu.


  • You can delete multiple slides at once. First, click a slide you want to delete, and then press the Shift key on the keyboard. With the Shift key still pressed, click another slide. Notice, all the slides between the two slides you clicked have been selected. Now, select Delete Slide from the Edit menu to delete all the selected slides.
  • If you want to select slides that are not next to each other, use the Ctrl key instead of the Shift key, and click each slide you want to delete.

Pressing the Delete key on the keyboard will also remove any selected slides.
