To delete a text box in Microsoft Paint, simply click on the border of the text box you wish to remove and then press the Delete key. It's important to ensure you're clicking on the border of the text box and not inside it, where the text cursor would be blinking.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Locate the text box: Identify the text box you want to delete within your Paint image.
- Click the border: Carefully position your mouse pointer on the edge or border of the text box. The cursor should change to indicate selection of the box boundary.
- Press the Delete key: Once the border is selected, press the
Delete
key on your keyboard. The text box and its contents will be removed.
