Tips & Warnings
You can delete text from a PSD by clicking on it within the layer the text is on and, with the Type Tool selected, backspacing or deleting it out. However, a text layer will still remain on your document, increasing the size of the file and getting in the way further along your workflow. Each time text is added to an image, a new layer is created, so there is no risk of accidentally deleting additional elements of the image by deleting the text layer completely.
