How do I delete a custom shape from my library? Someone asked about editing them in another post - if I can't edit and I have to recreate a shape to change it then how do I delete the old one?

Hi Elise thanks for posting in the Lucid community! You can delete a shape from your custom shape library by taking the following steps:



  1. Open the Shape Library Manager by clicking "Shapes" at the top of the left panel in the Lucidchart editor.

  2. While on the "Shapes" tab open the "My Libraries" section and select the custom library that contains your shapes.

  3. Right-click on the shape you want to delete then select "Delete."


I hope this helps! As an additional resource I recommend our Shape Libraries article from the Lucidchart Help Center. Please let me know below if you have additional questions!


This information is quite helpful. Thank you Micah.
