Hey i am learning Figma and my control z is not working as well as i am unable to delte layers

Hi @Anjali_som, Thanks so much for reaching out us with your question.


Just to clarify, are you asking about how to undo things using keyboard shortcuts? If thatā€™s the case, hereā€™s how you can do.



  • Mac: āŒ˜Command + Z

  • Windows: Ctrl + Z


If you looking to remove a layer, after youā€™ve got the layer selected, head over to Edit > Delete or give the delete key a tap.


Thereā€™s no need for any settings to use the shortcuts. I tested on my side and it seems working as expected. If you still experiences the difficulty, please try a quick fix below to see if it works :



  • Close any Figma tabs youā€™re not using

  • Browser: Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window.

  • Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it.
