description	Guide for removing a slide from a deck project. Use this when asked to delete, remove, or drop a slide.

Removing a Slide from a Deck Project

Step 1: Identify the slide to remove

Open deck.config.js and review the slides array to see all slides and their order. If the user didn't specify which slide to remove, list them so the user can choose.

Step 2: Remove from deck.config.js

1. Remove the import statement for the slide being deleted.
2. Remove the component from the slides array.

No index management is needed — the generic App.jsx assigns indexes by array position automatically.

Step 3: Delete the slide files

Delete from src/slides/:

• <SlideName>Slide.jsx
• <SlideName>Slide.module.css

Do not delete shared slides from @deckio/deck-engine (like GenericThankYouSlide) — only remove the import.

Step 4: Check for references

Search src/slides/ for any remaining references to the deleted slide:

• Other slides that import or reference the deleted component
• Data files specific to the deleted slide (if any)
• Remove any orphaned references

Step 5: Verify

The dev server hot-reloads automatically. Navigate through all slides and confirm:

• The deleted slide no longer appears
• All remaining slides are navigable (← → arrows, keyboard)
• Progress bar reflects the correct new total
• No console errors

Quick checklist

• Removed import from deck.config.js
• Removed component from slides array
• Deleted slide .jsx and .module.css files
• No orphaned references to the deleted slide
• No console errors, all slides navigable
