The place where the code is written is known as the cells of the notebook. When you open a new notebook, by default, you will find one cell and as you start writing code and executing, a new cell will be added. In this short article, we are going to discuss how to delete a cell in Jupyter Notebook. We can delete the cell by selecting the cell and then clicking on the scissor icon on the top menu.
