InDesign 2025 can't delete

Hi @smithjenny,

Thanks for reaching out. I understand this must be frustrating, but we can try a couple of troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:

1. Reset Preferences: Sometimes, corrupted preferences can cause unexpected behavior like this. Here's how to reset them:

   • Quit InDesign.
   • Hold down Shift + Option + Command + Control (Mac) or Shift + Ctrl + Alt (Windows) while restarting InDesign.
   • When prompted, confirm to reset preferences. For more details, you can refer to this link.

2. Create a new user account on your system and check if the issue persists there. This will help determine if it's specific to your current user profile. Reference: https://adobe.ly/4eFBo93

3. Boot your system in Safe Mode and launch only InDesign 2025. This will help identify if any third-party apps or plugins are interfering with InDesign's functionality.

4. If the issue continues, could you share a screen recording of the problem? This will help us better understand the issue.

Also, could you please share the details of your operating system version? It will help us provide more accurate guidance.

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Best,
Abhishek
