Asked by Glenn Kowalski:

I can see how to add table rows via a key combination but how do I delete/remove them?

I believe it would be Ctrl+Shift+x for Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+X for Mac.

You can find more useful shortcuts at [Tables Documentation Page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf59/tables-792498782.html)

I hope it helps

Recently we've found a lot of questions related to Confluence tables. So we decided to make a short video tutorial. Hope it will be helpful.

Hope it will come in handy as well!

body: Confluence is such an unnecessary product and the editor is unbelievably bad. Why am I googling HOW TO DELETE A ROW FROM A TABLE?  

Why does every company I work at have to use this absolute garbage product?

comments: author: Christine Campbell
body: LOL! I was googling it too, until someone overheard me laugh at your comment. She knew how to do it.

You select the row, then a "X" appears. Click on the "X" to delete the row. Hardly intuitive unless someone shows you!!


author: Shainesh Chandra
body: In edit mode on the page, click on the row you want to delete.

An option to "remove row" will become visible under the top menu.

comments: author: Monica Bowen
body: I wonder if this is for an older version of Confluence, because I don't see this option.


author: Wade Kearley
body: I dont see that either. But I did find one tip that helps and that is to select the column and an X appears with a mouse over that reads Delete Column. Click that and presto the pesky column is gone.


author: Nithin Sai K J
body: Such a simple thing and it is soo unintuitive.

As of Jan-2023, just click on (in) the row you want to delete and these options appear on the top left tools bar.

and then click on the third button.

body: FYI, I had to "split cells" before the delete button would show, or the shortcut would work. I was then able to delete the row and remerge cells.

body: Hello Glenn,

I would suggest you the following application with which we can edit,delete/move rows/columns in Confluence easily. it is available in Atlassian Marketplace.

[inline-table-editing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217271/inline-table-editing?hosting=server&tab=overview)

Note: This app was developed by the form i work for called Actonic.

Hope it helps!

body: Thanks I found there is a button to delete the rows, it is just not very obvious.
