Deleting Actions
As you build a workflow, you may place the wrong action or change your mind about whether to include a certain action—hey, it happens. Don't worry; you can delete the undesirable action.

Press the
key.or
Click the X button on the right side of the action's title bar (Figure 4.28).

or
Choose Edit > Delete (Figure 4.29).

Tips
- A note of warning: When you delete an action from a workflow, you will not be prompted to confirm your intent. Rather, Automator deletes the action immediately, settings and all. So, before you choose to delete an action, make sure that you really want to delete it. If you're unsure, try disabling it instead (see the next section).
- If you do accidentally delete an action, you can try to get it back by pressing
or by choosing Edit > Undo Remove Action (Figure 4.30).
Figure 4.30 Sometimes, the deletion of an action can be undone.
