Remove XY pins

[Level_Seven]

Hello,

I have XY pins (the blue ones) currently added to my map, but I need to remove all of them. A solution provided by a community member back in 2014 does not work in ARC PRO. Can anyone provide steps to remove XY pins after they've been added. I asked previously but was mistakenly provided information to remove points. This is not a points, lines, polygon issue, I simply need to remove the XY pins ive added. Thank you.

** ESRI - I wish you provided real time online support, it becomes a depressing assault to one's confidence when simple solutions take hours to problem solve and delay work deadlines.

Never mind - I figured it out. Not sure how to delete my post.

For anyone else with this issue:

1) Click on "selection" tab, in the contents pane (LEFT SIDE)

2) Right-click on "graphic" - there's a little check box

3)"remove" once the "graphic" is selected.

4)she gone! I added another a new pin once the others were deleted and replicated this process and it worked again. Hopefully this helps others.

Thanks so much for providing an update. Your solution was the only one I found that helped me with the same issue!

Very glad you didn't delete your post! There was nothing intuitive about this. I share your frustration.

Hello there! I wanted to say that I found a better way to remove the XY Pins, because if you just turn off the graphics layer you might accidentally delete your other work. What you want to do is this:

1. Go to the Contents on the left, find the Graphics Layer in any of the content sections and click on it

2. Go up to the ribbon with all of the mapping editing stuff blah blah, and go over to the new super secret ribbon in white to the right of it! Here it says Grahics and Graphics Layer. Click on Graphics

3. In the Graphics ribbon, select the select button(Below Imagery and Share).

4.Outline or click on the XY Pin or object you're getting rid of. 

5. Once the item is selected, go back up to the ribbon and click delete!

Bam! XY Pin deleted, and no other stuff disappeared!
