# Why won't a two-finger tap delete a scrap in the curtain?

Either the scrap is pinned or the gesture is switched off. Pinned scraps are protected — a two-finger tap never deletes them, so unpin first or delete from the board. If no tile deletes this way, turn on **Two-finger tap deletes a scrap** in Settings → Junk Yard. A tile's hover trash button always works.
