Hi guys, for some reason "Delete hidden layers" is greyed out.

No layers are locked and I am not on a hidden layer. Anybody had the same issue?

Thanks in advance!

Correct answer cosmicone

Thank you! I will do!

there is a solution for this

1 select all layers in layers panel

command + option + A (mac)
ctrl + alt + A (windows)

2 lock and unlock all layers

3 after all layer is unlocked this comand becomes active

Seems like normal behavior to me.

I have a file that has the top layer's visibility off. (eyeball icon off) That makes it a "hidden layer". So then the Delete Hidden Layers command is active. I do not have to be on that layer.

If I make the layer visible by clicking the eyeball back on, none of my layers are hidden, so Delete Hidden Layers is dimmed.

It means you have no hidden layers in your document. Do you?

Thanks, gener7

I do have hidden layers though (eyeball icon off), that's a weird part

They are not locked, just hidden, and yet it's still greyed out

That is odd. Maybe Photoshop's preferences are corrupted.

If you have Photoshop CC, then reset them here:

If you have CS6 or earlier, hold down cmd-opt-shift and launch Photoshop and you should see Delete Settings File? Answer "Yes" and see if that works.
