Deleting a Taxon

There are two ways of deleting a taxon:

1. Click on the taxon in the Taxon Navigator panel > press delete on the keyboard > go to step 3., or:
2. Point the mouse arrow at the taxon name in the Taxon Navigator panel and click the right mouse button; a drop-down menu will appear > click the Delete option.

A pop-up box will appear asking you for confirmation to delete the taxon from the taxon navigator.

3. Click the OK button:

The taxon will disappear from the Taxon Navigator panel.

Please Note: You can delete a taxon even if it has child taxa attached to it; all the records will be deleted. You cannot undo this action so you should be sure that this is what you want to do.
