I want to remove one of the light blue guidelines that I added in but can't seem to select it.

Anyone know what I should do? I'm an InDesign newbie.

Or, you can click them individually with the Selection tool and press Delete, which is helpful when you only need to delete some of the guides.

PROBLEM RESOLVED. I had accidentally locked the guides at some point! Oops.

    Go to page where you drew them—sounds like the A-Master? Make sure the guides are unlocked, and use the black arrow and click the tip of the arrow on the guide(s). They will turn a darker blue after you select them and then you can delete them.

    View > Grids and Guides > Delete All Guides on Spread.

    KB shortcut on Win to select all guidelines Ctrl+Alt+G, then hit Del.

    Didn't work... I'm on a Mac and it's on the Master pages - does that make a difference? (Tried deleting while selected on the master.)
