How to Delete Breakpoints

As you continue testing and debugging it is good practice to delete breakpoints you no longer need, so that the program will not stop unnecessarily.

It is easier to delete individual or multiple breakpoints from the Breakpoints view when you have a number set throughout a large program and you do not want to search through the source listing for them.

You can delete breakpoints in the following ways.

• Hover the mouse on the vertical ruler to the left of the statement whose breakpoint you want to delete, right-click, and select Delete Breakpoint. The blue circle disappears, and there is no longer a breakpoint at this line.
• Select the breakpoint from the list of breakpoints in the Breakpoints view, right-click, and select Delete Breakpoint. You can also use the <Del> (Delete) key. Do not delete the unconditional breakpoint set at statement 484.

You can use the Eclipse UI delete several breakpoints at one time, follow these steps:

1. Click the first breakpoint on the Breakpoints view, hold down the Shift key, then click the last breakpoint you want to delete.

   The breakpoints you select are highlighted.

2. Right-click and select Delete Breakpoint.

   The breakpoints you select are deleted from the Breakpoints view and the program listing.
