How to: Delete Rows in the Results Pane

Delete rows in the Results pane if you want to delete records in the database. If you want to delete all of the rows you can use a Delete query. For more information see How to: Create Delete Queries. If you only want to remove rows from the Results pane, change the criteria for the query. For more information see Specifying Search Criteria.

Note

Your computer might show different names or locations for some of the Visual Studio user interface elements in the following instructions. The Visual Studio edition that you have and the settings that you use determine these elements. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.
