How do I delete a text box in Autocad?

Deleting a text box (or MTEXT object) in AutoCAD is straightforward. Here's how:

Select the text box: Click on the text box you want to delete. It will become highlighted, often with grips visible.
Press the Delete key: Press the "Delete" key on your keyboard (sometimes labeled "Del"). Alternatively, you can press "E" then enter at the command line to erase the object.

That's it! The text box should now be removed from your drawing.

Alternative Methods:

Using the ERASE command:
1. Type ERASE (or just E) into the command line and press Enter.
2. Select the text box you want to delete.
3. Press Enter again to confirm the deletion.
Using the Modify Panel:
1. Select the text box.
2. Go to the "Home" tab on the ribbon.
3. In the "Modify" panel, click the "Erase" icon (it looks like an eraser).

Troubleshooting if the Text Box Isn't Deleting:

Check if it's locked: The text box may be on a locked layer. Unlock the layer in the Layer Properties Manager (type LAYER and press Enter) and try deleting it again.
Check if it's part of a block: If the text box is part of a block, you'll need to edit the block. Type BEDIT and press Enter. Select the block containing the text box, and then delete the text box within the Block Editor. Save the block changes to update all instances of the block in your drawing.
Regenerate the drawing: Sometimes display issues can prevent deletion from appearing correctly. Type REGEN and press Enter to regenerate the drawing.
Proxy object: Sometimes the text box can be a proxy object. try exploding the object by selecting the text box and typing "EXPLODE" at the command line. After exploding you should be able to delete the object.
