Drag to Delete

Select a block or a stack of blocks in the Workspace and drag them left to the Toolbox to delete from your project.

Delete a Single Block from a Stack

To remove a single block from a stack, context-select (right click or long press) a block in a stack and then choose 'Delete Block' from the context menu. This will also delete any nested blocks if a block with parameters is chosen to be deleted.

Delete All Blocks

To remove all of the blocks in the Workspace, context-select (right click or long press) the background of the Workspace and choose 'Delete X Blocks.'

When choosing to delete more than one block, you will be asked to confirm deleting all blocks to prevent accidental deletion. A prompt will NOT appear when nested blocks are selected to be deleted.

Note: Choosing this option will not delete the {When started} block.
