How to delete all Hidden Layers at the same time in Adobe Photoshop

January 6, 2007 | Posted in Photoshop |

This is much easier than I ever expected it to be. I’m not sure about previous versions, but I know this is possible in both Photoshop CS and CS2. First open any layered Photoshop file and hide a few layers.

Then, in the Layers Pallete, click on the little arrow in the upper right and select "Delete Hidden Layers."

That’s it! - very similar to the "Select Unused Items" in the Flash Library window, only better. It deletes them for you.

[Photoshop] Don’t drag all of your layers to the trash, hide the layers you want to delete and get rid of them all at once.
