Question

Cell padding guides/desktop just appeared

As of Monday (so perhaps a release) cell padding guides / desktop have appeared on ALL of my figma files.  I don’t want them.  I also don’t want to have to do shift+g every time I open a file.  I also don’t want to have to remove 100+ guides on all my files.   How do you get rid of them and stop them from coming back

    Hi ​@Kathleen_Illes, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delayed reply! 

    Are you still seeing these guides on your files? 
     

    To remove guides, you can do any of the following:

    • Click and drag the guide back to the rulers
    • Select the guide and press delete
    • Right-click on the guide and select Remove guide
