1. **Select the Component** – Click on the component you want to remove.
2. **Right-Click the Component** – A menu will appear with various options.
3. **Choose “Detach Instance”** – This turns the component into a regular frame (only if it's an instance).
4. **Press Delete Key** – Once detached or if already a main component, press `Delete` or `Backspace`.
5. **To Delete from Assets Panel** – Go to the **Assets** tab, right-click the main component, and select **“Delete”**.
6. **Check for Reuse** – Make sure it’s not being used elsewhere, as deleting a main component affects all instances.
7. **Undo If Needed** – Press `Ctrl+Z` (or `Cmd+Z` on Mac) to reverse the deletion.
