How do I remove a guide line?

How do I remove only one single guide line from the screen?

I can drag them and right mouse click to edit them. However, I could not find an option to remove them. "Clear Guides" command clears all the guides.

Dragging from near the ruler is how you create guidelines ... so how would you know it wasn't 'removed' ... ?

That is the official way to remove single guidelines ... drag them off-screen onto the ruler bar.

Drag it back to the Ruler area.

This does not remove the guide line. It only hides it behind the ruler.

If you move your cursor near the ruler, you can drag the guideline back.

Fair answer!

I just tried that. I didn't know it was possible to create them this way!

Previously, I was creating the guides from the View menu > Add Guides

There are SO many ways to do so many of the things you can do with an app as complicated as an NLE, that it's always a learning process. Always.

it was much more logical to have an erase option with the right click...

I did a tutorial about "Guides" and showed how you can add, edit, change color and remove them. 
Hope it helps! 🙂
