Removing bookmarks

In this section we will learn how to remove the bookmarks we have created.

1. In the Bookmarks view, select JanesFile.txt (the second bookmark we created) and do one of the following:

   • Click the Delete  button on the view's toolbar.
   • From the bookmark's context menu choose delete.

   Notice that the bookmark is removed from the Bookmarks view.

   

2. We should have one remaining bookmark. This bookmark is associated with a line in the file JanesFile.txt. There are two other approaches to removing this bookmark.
   • Use Remove Bookmark in the marker bar of the JanesFile.txt editor. You may recall that we used Add Bookmark in the marker bar when we first created the bookmark.
     
   • Delete the bookmark (as we did above) by using Delete from the bookmark's popup menu in the Bookmarks view.

   Let's go with the second approach. 

3. Ensure there is an editor open on JanesFile.txt. 

   Although we don't actually need to open the editor, doing so will allow us to watch the editor update as we delete the bookmark.

4. In the Bookmarks view, select JanesFile.txt (the remaining bookmark). Click the  Delete  button on the view's toolbar. Notice that the bookmark is removed from the Bookmarks view and the JanesFile.txt editor.
