Deleting library items

When you delete an item from the library, all instances or occurrences of that item in the document are also deleted by default. The Use Count column in the Library panel indicates whether an item is in use.

To delete a library item:

  1. Select the item and click the trash can icon at the bottom of the Library panel.
  2. In the warning box that appears, select Delete Symbol Instances (the default) to delete the library item and all instances of it. Deselect the option to delete only the symbol, leaving the instances on the Stage.
  3. Click Delete.
