: How can I quickly delete multiple layers in GIMP? I have an animated .gif open in GIMP with 48 different layers. In Photoshop I can quickly select and delete layers multiple layers at once,

@Sent7350415

If there is a small number of layers you want to keep or delete:


Make the layers you want to keep invisible (shift-click on the eye icon on any layers toggles the visibility status of all other layers). Depending on relative numbers, hide them all and unhide a few, or unhide them all and hide a few.
Image>Merge visible layers (Ctrl-M)
Delete the resulting layer
Toggle the visibility of the remaining layers (shift-click eye icon again)


Of course, this method isn't terribly useful if you have a the same time many layers to delete and many layers to keep (but from personal experience this is rarely the case). This method also works on Paths.
