: How to be sure that a layer is completely empty? I've got a .psd file with multiple layers. Some layers "seem" empty. I say seem because I cannot see any element on them but I am not sure

@Kevin459

Select magicwand tool while selecting the layer, click on the canvas it will figure out the data if there.....

I would select the layer, press Ctrl + A, then press Delete.

I don't think this will delete pixels that are on the layer but off of the canvas, but it's super quick to do if you know it's all on the canvas.

I normally click on a layer and then do Ctrl + T (resize).

If I can see a resize box, it means there's something :)

Choose Layer > Layer Style > Stroke and add a thick stroke (such as 6pts). Anything, even 1 pixel at 10% opacity, will become immediately visible.

Then if you need to retain the layer, simply remove the Layer Style.
