Removing nodes in the Node Editor graph

You can remove the selected or unselected nodes; or, the upstream or downstream nodes of a selected node using the marking menus or hotkeys.

In addition, you can also select nodes in the Node Editor and click the button in the toolbar to remove it from the Node Editor graph.

Remove nodes using the node marking menus

Select a node, right-click to access the node marking menu and select Remove Stream Nodes.
Select from one of the four options: Remove Upstream, Remove Downstream, Remove Selected, and Remove Unselected.
