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.

an absolute lifesaver

This extension has been an absolute lifesaver. I have that fantastic combo of ADHD and Dyslexia while trying to go through college. I have difficulty keeping letters in order, seeing the gaps between words, and with ADHD on top, I lose focus A LOT. The immersive reader has been my new best friend. It drowns out the rest of the content on the page, changes the font to something I can read, and highlights the word as it reads to me. My eyes are forced to keep going in the right direction. I can slow down and pay attention to what I'm reading. I don't even have to go back and read the same paragraph 5 times to understand it! The screen overlay has been outstanding for eye strain and being able to distinguish between words and spaces. The custom font and spacing for research articles have been an enormous advantage! I can actually read the research papers now and not have this daunting 2 column fine print page to squint over.All around, this has been the best purchase I've ever had. I use this every day, with every assignment. I don't even struggle with story-based questions anymore. The immersive reader helps me read, listen, and understand the question all at once. I am still exploring what I can use this with and how it can make my academic career, and I keep getting impressed with every new way I find to use it. Seriously, try it out. You won't regret it at all. Even if you don't have dyslexia or ADHD, just try it out. You might find that it helps you understand the content you're trying to learn even better!

I have been trying to find ways to make my child happy to go to school again, and someone recommended helperbird. She loves helperbird, and she is now much happier about the idea of returning to school. I think this might be a game changer, as they do so much web based schoolwork and research. She says they really understand people with dyslexia
