Google Slides is a fast, easy, and free tool for making slideshows and presentations. And while it’s straightforward to add and modify slides, it’s not always obvious how to delete one or more slides you no longer need from your deck. Once you learn how, though, you can delete slides with just a couple of clicks or taps using a desktop browser or the mobile app on your phone.
How to delete a slide on Google Slides on the desktop
With Google Slides in a web browser and your deck open, find the slide you want to delete. Click the slide thumbnail in the pane on the left and then press the Delete key on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can right-click the slide and then choose Delete from the pop-up menu. If you want to delete multiple slides at once, hold the Shift key when you select the first and last slide, then delete it using the right-click menu or Delete key.
