Deleting Slides

If you no longer need a slide or make a mistake and want to start again, you can delete it. In Normal view, select the slide on either the Outline tab or the Slides tab, and press the Delete key. If these tabs don't appear, click the Normal View button in the lower-left corner of the PowerPoint window to restore them.

To delete multiple consecutive slides, press the Shift key and select the slides you want to delete before pressing the Delete key. You can delete multiple nonconsecutive slides in Slide Sorter view by holding the Ctrl key, selecting the slides you want to delete, and pressing the Delete key.
