What This Does

Delete removes the document you have open from your saved documents.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Anyone tidying up old drafts
  • Students clearing out finished assignments
  • Anyone who has run out of room to save because of large old documents

Before You Delete

There is no undo, and deleted documents do not go to a recycle bin. If there is any chance you will want the writing again, download it as a Word or text file first. That takes a few seconds and the file is yours to keep.


Step 1: Open the Document

Open the one you want to remove, using View.

Check the page carefully before the next step, because Delete acts on whatever is currently open.


Step 2: Click Delete

Click Delete in the toolbar. It is the bin icon, to the right of Copy.

The Helperbird Notepad toolbar, with New document, Save, Copy, Delete, Text stats, My Notes, Notepad options and View

The document is removed from your list.

This tool helps so many of our students at school - not only those students who have dyslexia, but students and adults who have other learning differences (and those who don't!). It helps ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in their learning!

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

Huge fan of the zoom feature. It trumps the native zoom in your browser since the zoom level you set actually stays with you no matter what page you go to, which is very helpful and meshes well with the other features the app offers.

Where to start! Firstly, I'd like to thank Robert (the developer) for his generosity - the app is extremely cheap as apps go. It is very apparent that this app is a labour of love - Robert is constantly working on it and improving things, adding new features, etc. As someone with ADHD and ASD, I have always had to piece-meal together the features I need to help me study effectively - half a dozen different apps / extensions, and even then they don't quite meet my expectations. Helperbird, however, offers SO MUCH more, and all in one place - you can finetune your experience to your heart's desire. The features I particularly love are summarise, simplify, sticky notes, highlighting, and the amazing immersive reader with TTS. I can't sing Helperbird's praises enough. Thank you, Robert, for such a thoughtful - and genuinely helpful - app. You are empowering the neurodivergent everywhere.
