Delete features that exist in another layer

Hi there,

I have a problem that I am trying to solve.

I have two feature classes. Feature class A contains ~200 features, and feature class B contains ~1,000 features. All of the features from feature class A are also in feature class B, and I would like to remove the ~200 features that exist in feature class A from feature class B.

Is there a tool that I am missing that can accomplish this without going one by one through the list and manually deleting?

Thank you!

Use Select Layer By Location to select features in feature class B that "Are identical to" features in feature class A, if they are identical.

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/data-management/select-layer-by-location.htm

Use Delete Features tool on feature class B, which now has the selection, to delete the selected features.

Does that work for you?
