  • Thanks for the clear steps — that “hold-to-delete” feature is actually a smart touch to prevent mistakes. I once deleted an entire slide by accident on another platform and wished they had something similar! Also, while taking a quick break from work, I came across some lighthearted orphan jokes that surprisingly highlight how humor can make even tricky topics easier to talk about. A little laughter definitely helps when fixing presentation mishaps!

  • The feature where you have to press and hold the mouse button and wait for the red circle to complete (like charging up energy) is actually a very clever design. It saves those who tend to "act before thinking," preventing them from accidentally deleting all their hard work on a slide with a single click. However, for those who are in a hurry or need to quickly clean up their slides, it's definitely incredibly frustrating to have to wait a few seconds for each slide.

    The Grid View, Block Blast on the other hand, is the traditional method, nothing to discuss there; it's more convenient for mass deletion.
