Currently when I choose to "Delete Hidden Layers", it deletes all hidden layer from all the artboards. How to delete hidden layers from some specific artboard only.

Obviously, in a basic setup it doesn't make much difference, but when you're working on 40-50 artboards setup with over 5-8 thousand of images then it really matters

    Can you explain in a bit more detail why you want to delete these hidden layers from just one artboard?

  • @SSDesigns OK, Suppose I'm working on a mobile app with 20 screens, to reduce recursive design I 'intentionally' hide some layer on some particular screens like a pop-up window on the home screen or navigation drawers on some other screen. But in the design process when I want to delete all unused layer from any artboard in one click it deletes all from all the artboards.

  • Ah I understand. Unfortunately, I don't think that there is a way to just selectively delete the hidden layers from just a single artboard.

  • It's a command that applies to all artboards, even locking your hidden layers will not protect them from being deleted. I'm quite certain this isn't possible at all.

Deleting all hidden layers from a selected Artboard is simple once you follow these steps:

  1. Select the Artboard where you want to delete all of the hidden layers

    You can select more than one at a time

  2. Change Layer Filter to > Artboard

    Layer Filter is located in Layers Panel, it is the first Element

  3. Select > Delete Hidden Layers

    Delete Hidden Layers option is located in Layers Panel's Menu

  4. Now Change Layer Filter to > Kind

Done! All hidden layers are deleted from selected Artboard(s) only.

    I don’t know why you keep rolling back the edits but please stop using blockquotes and code formatting for things other than quotes or code
