: I want to remove the overlaps from a multishape design I want to remove the selected part from the design. I have used rotate tool to make the copies and divided them by the Pathfinder

@Bethany839

Actually you really got the overlap deleted, but probably you want to combine it to one of the slices and not to delete it. So select the overlap-slice and another slice. In the Patfinder panel press Unite.

You can unite all copies if you want only one path.

Also Pathfinder/Merge does the trick somehow. It
- kills the overlaps, but do not leave holes
- removes the visible stroke and group all.

It's still possible to ungroup the slices and to give strokes to them.

Check also, if Object > Arrange > Bring to front for some parts just after the copying is enough. The blue place indicators of the paths are not visible if not wanted.
