Overview

- A square checkbox, a six-dot icon, and a plus button will appear.
- Hover over the six-dot icon and select it.
- Press Delete.
Option 2: Delete Multiple Line Items
- Select the square checkbox next to each line item you want to delete.
- Click the Delete button at the top of the estimate.
