How to delete a component in the Rich Content Editor
Do delete an existing component, simply click on the component you want to delete and when the Scaffold context menu appears, click on Delete. This will remove the component from the Rich Content Editor (RCE).

If you delete something by accident, you can always undo any actions in the RCE by selecting Edit and then Undo from the RCE menu or Command + Z (Mac) or Control + Z (PC).
