You can easily delete a Workspace in Blender using its context menu. The context menu contains options to duplicate, delete and reorder workspaces.
Blender uses Workspaces (like Layout, Modeling, Sculpting, etc.) to organize your viewports and editors for different tasks. While Blender comes with default workspaces, you might create your own or find you no longer need a specific workspace. Deleting a workspace is a quick process using the menu associated with the workspace tabs.
Here's how to delete a workspace:
- Locate the Workspace Tabs: At the top of the Blender window, you'll see a row of tabs (e.g., "Layout", "Modeling", "Sculpting", "UV Editing", etc.). These represent your current workspaces.
- Access the Context Menu: Right-click on the tab of the workspace you want to delete. This action will open a context menu specific to workspace operations.
- Select "Delete": In the context menu that appears, you will find an option labeled "Delete". Click on this option.
- Confirm Deletion (if prompted): Depending on the Blender version or specific circumstances (like if it's a modified default workspace), you might be asked to confirm the deletion. Click to confirm if necessary.
The workspace tab will disappear, and Blender will switch to the next available workspace tab.
Important Notes:
- You cannot delete all workspaces; Blender requires at least one workspace to be open.
- Be careful when deleting custom workspaces, as their layout and any unique settings within them will be lost.
Step-by-Step Deletion
For clarity, here are the steps again:
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Right-click | Right-click on the tab of the workspace you wish to delete (e.g., the "Layout" tab or a custom one). |
| 2 | Select Option | From the context menu that appears, select the "Delete" option. |
| 3 | Confirm | If prompted, confirm that you want to delete the workspace. |
This method is the standard way to manage your workspaces directly within the Blender interface, providing quick access to renaming (double-click a tab), adding (click the Add button), duplicating, deleting, and reordering them via the context menu.
