Deleting Slides in PowerPoint on Mac

Okay, here is how to delete slides on PowerPoint on your Mac, using the information provided:

You can delete a slide in PowerPoint on your Mac simply by selecting it and pressing the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.

Removing unwanted slides from your presentation is a quick and easy process. The most common method involves selecting the slide thumbnail and using your keyboard.

Delete a Single Slide

To remove just one slide:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation on your Mac.
2. In the left-hand Slide Navigator pane, click on the thumbnail of the slide you want to delete.
3. With the slide selected, press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard. The slide will be instantly removed from your presentation.

Delete Multiple Slides

If you need to remove several slides at once, you can select them together before deleting:

1. In the left-hand Slide Navigator pane, click on the first slide you want to delete.
2. Hold down the Cmd key (Command key) on your Mac keyboard.
3. While holding down the Cmd key, click on the thumbnails of the other slides you wish to delete. This allows you to select non-adjacent slides.
4. If the slides are adjacent (next to each other), you can click the first slide, hold down the Shift key, and click the last slide in the range to select all slides in between.
5. Once all desired slides are selected (they will appear highlighted), press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard. All selected slides will be removed simultaneously.

Alternative Method: Using the Context Menu

Another way to delete a slide is by using the right-click menu:

1. In the Slide Navigator pane, right-click (or Control-click) on the thumbnail of the slide you want to delete.
2. From the context menu that appears, select Delete Slide.
