use the following procedures.

the strokes you want to delete.

to select the curves associated with each selected stroke.
- Press
the Backspace or Delete key, or select
Edit > Delete.
To
delete all strokes
- Do
one of the following:
- In
the scene view or the scene painting view, select
Edit > Delete All by Type > Strokes.
- Click
the Delete All Strokes icon on
the toolbar.
