Hello,
I am using PhotoShop 2022. I have created an art work with several layers. When I got to File > Export > Layers to Files. I select the option to have them saved in the PNG 24 format and select the folder where I would like to have them placed. After it runs through all the layers I keep receiving an error that states "The Command Delete is not currently available". Once I press okay another small pop up box states "Error : User cancelled the operation". Meanwhile, I have done no such thing to interrupt the process via key strokes or mouse activity. I have tried to troubleshoot by closing Photoshop and restarting it and attempting the same process and keep getting the same error. I have also restarted the computer multiple times as well. I also tried the same process using the JPEG file as an option instead of the png24 and that export worked successfully (I need the files in png24 format). I would greatly appreciate any help to get this error resolved as the project I am working on is time sensitive. I have included attachments of the error messages as well if that helps. Thank you kindly.

Can you show your Layers panel? You may not have a layer selected.

I apologize for the explicits used in the layers. However I have attached the picture here. I have tried it with having all the layers selected and without as well. Still no luck. Even went into the C: Drive to delete the preferences folder and still no luck upon restart.

it could be due to the layers containing folders as indicated by other posts i've read.

same problem, I can't seem to find a solution. You dont need to select the layers as the command is to export visible layers and it has aleways worked in the past.

I have tried, however, I am unable to reproduce this error. Can you post cropped screenshots of your layers structure in the layers panel and the options selected in the script interface? Or post a sample PSD file.

I was having the same issue. I found 2 layers that were linked together and I unlinked those. I also got rid of any subfolders, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with it.

Hi.
I found a solution that works well in my environment.
I'm leaving it in this forum for others who have the same problem.
My environment
* PC: MacBook Pro 16, 2021, M1 Max, Ventura 13.2.1
* Photoshop: 23.2.1
Following layer structure fails export with the message "The Command Delete is not currently available".
FolderA
└ LayerA
LayerB
To avoid this error, place the layer at the top of the layer structure.
LayerB ← Create new layer or bring from somewhere
FolderA
└ LayerA
Honestly, I have no idea why this works.
I hope this information helps.

I had this issue now, in the year 2024, and found a solution for my own after checking here so just letting others know. Taking layers out of subfolders wasn't enough for me so I unlocked all the layers and only then it worked.

Your file shouldn't have any subfolders/grouped elements. Ungroup it - so it's only single layers.
