# Deleting Keyframes

You can delete one or more keyframes from an animation curve or track. You can also delete keyframes from more than one channel.

To delete a keyframe:

1. Access the Animation Curve view or the Track Editor.
2. Select the channel containing the keyframe you want to delete.
3. From the Edit Mode box, select Delete (or press spacebar+D).
4. Click the keyframe.

   The keyframe is removed from the curve or track. In the Animation Curve window, the shape of the animation curve is updated automatically.

To delete all keyframes at a specific time:

1. Access the Animation Curve window or the Track Editor.
2. Drag the positioner to the frame where you want to remove keyframes.
3. Select the channels containing the keyframes you want to delete.
4. Click Del Key.

   The keyframes for the selected channels are deleted for the current frame.

To delete a range of keyframes:

1. Access the Animation Curve window or the Track Editor.
2. Select the channels containing the keyframes you want to delete.
3. From the Edit Mode box, select Delete (or press spacebar+D).
4. Drag a selection box around the keyframes.

   When you release the cursor, all keyframes inside the selection box for the selected channels are deleted. Animation curves are updated automatically. Unselected keyframes and keyframes in collapsed folders are unaffected.

To delete all keyframes except the current keyframe:

1. Access the Animation Curve window or the Track Editor.
2. Select the channel containing the keyframes you want to delete.
3. Press Ctrl and select the keyframe you want to keep.
4. Click the Keep button.

   The selected keyframe is kept, while all other keyframes are deleted.

   NoteIf no keyframes are selected in the currently selected channel, the entire channel is deleted.
