the delete key
The key used to remove the character before the intersection point in most text editing applications is the Backspace key. Pressing Backspace deletes the character immediately to the left of the cursor's current position. In some contexts, the Delete key is also used, but it removes the character to the right of the cursor.
It deletes text to the right of the cursor. If some text is selected, it will delete all of that text at once.
While holding down SHIFT, press END (near home, insert, delete, etc.). Then press DELETE or BACKSPACE.
The Delete key deletes characters to the right or in front of the cursor. The backspace key deletes characters to the left or behind the cursor.
The backspace key deletes to the left of the cursor, and the delete key deletes to the right of the cursor.
Backspace deletes the characters to the left of the cursor while delete deletes the characters to the right. (The cursor is the vertical line that flashes on and off where you are typing text)
Backspace key
The key that removes text directly over the cursor is the "Delete" key. When pressed, it deletes the character to the right of the cursor's current position. In some applications, the "Backspace" key can be used to remove text directly to the left of the cursor.
When the keyboard is in the "insert" mode, any key that is struck will replace whatever character was at that point.
Backspace
On a PC, you press the backspace key.
Press the F2 key to start editing the cell. Then use the arrow keys to get to the point in the text where you want to get rid of a character. If the character is to the left of the cursor, use the Backspace key. If it is to the right of the cursor, use the Delete key.
