How can one identify one of the generated clones in order to delete it when the user clicks on one of the clone’s components, for example the trash icon, especially when the deletion attempt is triggered through a ‘When Any Item Click’ event? ---

Here’s an example of how to do this: [Cloning components to create "DVL" style lists - #4 by tatiang](https://community.thunkable.com/t/cloning-components-to-create-dvl-style-lists/2129351/4) When you get the first occurrence of a cloned component as in the screenshot in that topic, it returns the _order_ of the component so you can then use that with list blocks. It’s not a simple process but it does work. ---

Thank you so much Tatian for your reply! We were able to identify and remove the clone from the screen using your example — thank you. However, we’re still facing an issue. Each clone contains an image, a label (nick), and a trash can icon. When the trash can is clicked, we want to retrieve the label’s text (nick) from the specific clone that contains the clicked icon. We would be very grateful if you could show us a block example for this. Br Vittorio ---
