How to delete rows, columns & modules

Updated 11 September 2026

Anything on the canvas is deleted from the Elements tree - and deleting a container takes everything inside it.

In short

Click the bin icon beside a row, column or module in the Elements tree. Deleting a row or column removes everything inside it, so you're asked to confirm first. Nothing is permanent until you save - and a saved deletion can still be recovered from Revisions.

Deleting an element

Every row, column and module in the Elements tree has a bin icon. Click it and you'll be asked to confirm, because deleting a row or column also removes the columns and modules nested inside it.

Rows, columns and modules each delete from the same place

Careful

Deleting a row removes its columns and every module in them. If you only meant to remove one module, delete that module rather than its container.

Undoing a deletion

Nothing you delete is written to your site until you save - Publish on a filter that hasn't been published yet, Update after that - so leaving the builder without saving discards the deletion along with everything else you changed. If you've already saved, restore an earlier version from Revisions.

Note

A filter always keeps at least one row - the last one can't be deleted.

FAQ

Does deleting a row delete what's inside it?

I deleted something by mistake - can I get it back?

If you haven't saved, leave the builder without saving. If you have, restore an earlier version from Revisions.

Can I delete every row?

No - a filter always keeps at least one.
