NotebookDelete
NotebookDelete[notebook]
deletes the current selection in the notebook corresponding to the specified notebook object.
NotebookDelete[obj]
deletes the given cell or box object.
NotebookDelete[{obj1,obj2,…}]
deletes all specified objects.
deletes the current selection in the current evaluation notebook.
Details and Options
- NotebookDelete can take a NotebookObject, CellObject, or BoxObject.
- Using NotebookDelete on a NotebookObject is equivalent to using the Clear command on that notebook.
- After using NotebookDelete on a NotebookObject, the current selection becomes an insertion point at the position of the deleted material.
- Using NotebookDelete on one or more CellObject expressions will not change the selection unless the selection intersected with one of the specified cells.
- Deleting the selection in a NotebookObject will automatically scroll to the resulting selection unless the option setting AutoScroll->False is given.

nb = CreateDocument[{a, b, c}];SelectionMove[nb, Next, Cell]
NotebookDelete[nb]
Display a button that deletes its cell:
Button["delete", NotebookDelete[EvaluationCell[]]]Display a list of self-deleting buttons:
Table[Button["delete", NotebookDelete[EvaluationBox[]]], {10}]Scope (1)
nb = CreateWindow[DocumentNotebook[{CellGroup[{TextCell["Text", "Section"], TextCell["some text", "Text"]}], CellGroup[{TextCell["Next section", "Section"]}]}]];Move the selection to the first "T":
SelectionMove[nb, Before, CellContents];
SelectionMove[nb, All, Character]
NotebookDelete[nb]
SelectionMove[nb, All, CellGroup]
NotebookDelete[nb]
Properties & Relations (2)
Use SelectionMove to select a cell to be deleted:
Button["delete", SelectionMove[EvaluationCell[], All, Cell];NotebookDelete[]]Target a CellObject directly to delete it without changing the selection:
Button["delete", NotebookDelete[EvaluationCell[]]]AttachCell returns the CellObject for each cell it attaches:
obj1 = AttachCell[EvaluationCell[], "top", {Right, Top}];
obj2 = AttachCell[EvaluationCell[], "bottom", {Right, Bottom}];Delete multiple attached cells:
NotebookDelete[{obj1, obj2}];Text
