I’ve read through many help articles and can’t find the answer or an answer that works. I’ve created an extremely simple application, I just want to be able to delete an item from the app, but I can’t figure out how to do that. I am using glide data table, I see I can place a check mark in the box next to items, but then what? ---

I am using glide data table, I see I can place a check mark in the box next to items, but then what? Just hit the delete key on your keyboard. Deleting rows in the GDE this way can be a bit flakey, so sometimes you need to do it a couple of times before it “sticks”. There is also a (relatively) new Delete Row action available. ![Screen Shot 2021-04-15 at 1.25.28 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/d/fdffe750b86e0d52dec03505fd484d31cb894dcf.png)
