To remove a layer from the current Map window:

  1. On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Explorer from the list, to open the Explorer window.
  2. Click the layer or layers you want to remove, using the Shift key to select adjacent layers or the Ctrl key to select random layers.
  3. Click the Remove Layers button. MapInfo Pro removes the layers from the list.

The Map window redraws without the removed layers.

Removing Multiple Layers from a Map

To remove multiple layers:

  1. On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Explorer from the list, to open the Explorer window.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To remove contiguous layers select the first layer, hold down the Shift key and select the last layer. Click the Remove Layers button.
    • To remove multiple layers that are out of sequence, hold down the Ctrl key, select the layers. Click the Remove Layers button.

The Cosmetic layer cannot be removed. You cannot remove all of the map layers. There must always be at least one main layer displaying in the Maps list. Selecting all the map layers disables the Remove Layers button.
