delete translation from Layout

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needs to delete a translation of a Layout in WPML that was not correctly copied over in Elementor, and they wish to start over.
Solution:
We recommended the client to navigate to their WordPress dashboard, specifically to the Layout section. From there, they should locate the translation they wish to delete under the specified language, hover over it, and select the option to delete. After deleting, it is also necessary to remove it from the trash tab to completely clear it. This process will allow the client to start fresh with the translation.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking for related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there. I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site so I can better examine the issue. The needed fields are below the comment area. When you log in to leave your next reply, the information you enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it. Our Debugging Procedures I will check various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to back up the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate it and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site. Privacy and Security Policy We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ IMPORTANT - Please back up the site files and database before providing us access. If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, your post and website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link I will be waiting for your response. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei
