Assuming you meant 'characters' - use the DEL key (instead of backspace). The DEL key erases the character at the cursor, moving the text from right to left. The Backspace key erases the character immediately to the LEFT of the cursor.
Unlike Earth, the moon does not have air, water, glaciers, or plate tectonics to erase craters. The only forces that significantly alter the moon's surfaces are impacts that form new craters.
Crater numbers on the moon can only get bigger cause there is no wind, rain, or volcanic activity to erase the craters. Landslides are rare too.
They last much longer than that. Some of the moon's craters are billions of years old. They last so long because there is nothing to erase them. Earth has wind, water glaciers, volcanoes, and tectonic plates to bury, erode, and erase craters. The moon has none of these processes. Some refer to the moon as geologically dead.
Earth is a 'living' planet; its surface is always being changed by the processes of erosion and geological action. Those craters that still remain are either too big to be noticed specifically as craters without the right perspective or, as noted in the question, so few in number that they are a major rarity.
The delete key removes the character above or to the right of the cursor. The backspace removes the character to the left of the cursor.
When you get your computer your cursor should be normal but if its not its not right. [Ej Chapman wrote this answer.]
The arrow keys on the keyboard typically move the cursor left and right. Pressing the left arrow key moves the cursor left, while pressing the right arrow key moves the cursor right.
Press the Delete key to remove a character on the right of the cursor.
The answer is actually embedded in the question. The craters of the moon do not "weather" away because the Moon has no weather! To have weather requires an atmosphere and the Moon has none. There is also no free flowing water. Without tectonic and volcanic activity to erase craters as occurs on Earth, craters can persist for up to hundreds of millions of years.
They do, but extremely slowly. There is no atmosphere or liquid water on the Moon, meaning no wind, rivers, waves, or blowing dust to erode the craters. There is also no volcanic activity or tectonic action to erase them as on Earth. Many more craters have been obliterated by subsequent impacts than by slowly crumbling away. Some craters are hundreds of millions of years old, and have many smaller craters within them.
Many places on the moon suffer from a shortage of the things that erase craters on the earth, including air, wind, water, rain, storms, lightning, mud, burrowing animals, tides, roots of growing plants, earthworms, etc.
Ok found it... go to "your creations," then on the right there's an option to erase
