How Do I Delete a Webflow Style?

Deleting a Webflow style is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Whether you want to clean up your project or remove an unused style, this tutorial will guide you through the process. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Accessing the Style Manager
To delete a Webflow style, you’ll need to access the Style Manager. This is where all your styles are organized and managed. To open the Style Manager, click on the paintbrush icon located on the left side of the Webflow Designer.

Pro tip: You can also use the shortcut “S” on your keyboard to quickly access the Style Manager.

Step 2: Identifying the Style to Delete
Once you’re in the Style Manager, you’ll see a list of all your defined styles. Scroll through them until you find the one you want to delete. Styles are categorized by element type (e.g., heading, paragraph, link) and class name.

Pro tip: If you’re unsure which style to delete, you can preview each one by clicking on it and observing how it affects your website’s elements in real-time.

Step 3: Deleting the Style
To delete a style, simply click on it to select it. Once selected, look for the trashcan icon located at the bottom right corner of the Style Manager window. Clicking this icon will prompt a confirmation dialog asking if you’re sure about deleting the style.

  • If you’re certain about deleting it, click “OK.”
  • If not, click “Cancel” and reconsider before proceeding.

Pro tip: Deleting a style will remove it from all elements that use it throughout your project. Make sure to double-check if any elements rely on this particular style before deleting it.

Deleting a Webflow Combo Class

In addition to deleting regular styles, you might also need to remove combo classes. Combo classes are styles that combine multiple classes to create unique combinations and variations.

Step 1: Accessing the Combo Classes
Similar to regular styles, combo classes can be managed from the Style Manager. To access the Combo Classes section, click on the paintbrush icon in the Style Manager and select “Combo Classes” at the top of the window.

Step 2: Identifying the Combo Class to Delete
Scroll through the list of combo classes until you find the one you want to delete. Each combo class is labeled with its class name and a preview of how it affects your elements.

Step 3: Deleting the Combo Class
To delete a combo class, simply click on it to select it. Once selected, look for the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner of the Style Manager window. Clicking this icon will prompt a confirmation dialog asking if you’re sure about deleting the combo class.

Conclusion
