Removing sketch

[Khadhee*]

I created a new layer, but the sketch I uploaded on the previous layer is still on display.

How do I remove this?

 Kindly help a newbie

You don't "upload" to layers. A layer is not a web server. You can place objects on layers, or draw on layers.

Anyway, if you want to remove something displayed on another layer, then just delete the layer. Have you not already tried this?

What I meant to say was "I imported a sketch on say layer 1 and I want to use layer 2 for something else.

Layer 2 however has same sketch on it.

layers overlay each other.  you can hide layers and you can delete layers and you can opt to outline a layer.
