How to Delete a Guide in Illustrator CS5.1?

Discussion in 'Graphics & Multimedia' started by andrej, Jul 3, 2014.

    I'm trying to delete (remove) a guide in my Illustrator document that I no longer need, but I have no idea how to do that. I don't want to delete all guides, just a particular one.

    I found this tutorial on Youtube: but it somehow doesn't seem to work in the Illustrator version that I'm using (I have CS5.1).

    Maybe you have lock the guide. Try to uncheck View>Guides>Lock Guides.

    After unlocking the guide, use "Selection Tools (V)" to click on the guide and press "Del" for deleting it.
