# Deleting Elements

You can delete selected elements in the timeline in numerous ways.

NoteDeleting an element is affected by the Ripple mode. For example, if Ripple Off is enabled, deleting a shot leaves a gap.

To delete the element(s) from the timeline:

1. Select the element(s). See Selecting Elements.
2. Do one of the following:
   - Click Del, and then confirm the deletion.

     If no selection is made, the element with focus is deleted.

   - Press Shift+D.

     If no selection is made, the element with focus is deleted.

   - Drag the selection outside the red border of the Timeline. When the recycle symbol appears, drop the element(s) to delete it.
   NoteYou can also delete shots in the Storyboard view. See Deleting Shots. The Timeline immediately reflects the changes.
