Now today I'm going to show you how to delete a room from a project within your Revit file. So, let's say we have a floor plan of a project here, and let's say I accidentally added in a room or maybe you had a couple of rooms that you merged together and you just want to delete one of those rooms.

So let's add in an arbitrary room here ('RM') let's just call it "Room" and we're going to hit OK. It's saying that we have a redundant room here. If I hit DEL to delete the room tag, it's going to say that the tag was deleted but the room is still there.

If I click on the room area here and hit delete, it's saying that the room was deleted from the model views but it still remains in the project.

So, what we need to do here is create a schedule. That's the only way to delete a room from a project. So let's go to View, Schedules, Schedule/Quantities, we'll hit 'R' on the keyboard to jump down to rooms, and we'll create a room schedule.

Sure, we can add the area and we can add the name, whatever we want here, hit OK, and let's just enlarge this a little bit. So the room that we put in that we don't actually need is just called "Room" so all I need to do is select that row there and hit Delete.

It's saying it will delete the selected room and any associated room tags. So I'm actually going to hit Cancel right now. If there were a couple of rooms that you wanted to delete at the same time, you could either just do a drag selection here and hit Delete. It's going to delete all 5 of them. I'm going to hit Cancel. Or you can Click and hit your Shift key to select multiple in a row, and hit Delete.

Now let's just do that for the one room here, I'm going to hit Delete, and hit OK. And now that room has officially been deleted from the project.
