Hi, I am creating a simple doodle App. I don’t need the Sprite component that is there already. When I delete, the page becomes blank. I have tried number of times. The Sprite is still there. Here is the link of the [Project](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/5f9749901322700011b01d3a) and a short [video](https://youtu.be/C4E0UJN2OKI) to show what happens when I delete the Sprite. Please help. ---

Hi, Try not to delete the sprite, but to position it off the screen so that it doesn’t get in the way. ---

This is happening to me and all my students. I have been telling them what actech said, but I would like to know an actual solution to this instead of a work around. My students get confused enough without having dangling sprites… ---

> [@madhumita](#): > > and a short [video](https://youtu.be/C4E0UJN2OKI) Thanks @madhumita - that video is super helpful. Can you see if there is any error in the browser console when the screen goes white? This will give us a clue as to where the error is occurring. Thanks! ---
