# Delete State

The delete state function can be activated from the Delete State item in the Edit Menu or from the delete state button in the Edit Mode Tool Bar (the button shown in Figure 1).

The delete state function deletes a state/decision of the (discrete) node currently selected. The function only works for discrete chance nodes and decision nodes.

The delete state function can only be activated when the currently selected node has two or more states.
