Actions

There are multiple ways to "Remove a Tab", so we'll go over this starting from the Popup and moving on to what is available in the Salesforce page.

Popup

In the Popup page, you'll see all the already saved Tabs (if you haven't set up any of them yet, you'll still find 3 default Tabs ready for you to try) and at the end of each line, a red Delete button is shown.

Click the button next to the Tab you want to remove; you should see a message on the screen telling you that the Tabs have been saved correctly.

Salesforce

As mentioned before, all the saved Tabs are shown in the blank space at the top of the Salesforce Setup page. To remove a Tab without using the Popup, you can click on the light-blue Slashed Star found at the top-right of the inner page (at the right of the title of the page). The Slashed Star is not shown for Home and Object Manager because they're always shown even without this extension. Once you've clicked the Slashed Star, the Tab is automatically removed from your list. You should see a message on the screen telling you that the Tabs have been saved correctly.

Warning

Be sure to have navigated to the page you want to remove before clicking on the Slashed Star; otherwise another page will get deleted! To do so, first click the Tab you want to remove (to navigate to its page); then, click on the Slashed Star.

Context Menu

There are 2 more ways to remove a Tab: using Context Menus.

Method 1

When you're on a page you'd like to remove, right-click anywhere on the screen (not on a link though) then move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce and click Remove tab in the sub-menu. You should see a message on the screen telling you that the Tabs have been saved correctly.

Method 2

From any Salesforce Setup page, right-click on the Tab you want to remove (near the top of the page) then move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce then move it to Remove tab(s) in the sub-menu and click This tab in its sub-menu. You should see a message on the screen telling you that the Tabs have been saved correctly.
