Layers can also be removed from the static basemap using either Edit > Remove Layer or by clicking on the layer in the sidebar and selecting Popup > Remove Layer. The boring/well, annotation, and project layers can not be removed from the static basemap. Instead of removing the layer, it's display can be turned off using the checkbox next to the layer in the sidebar. If the layer was added to the static basemap, the copied layer file will be deleted from the Datastore. If the layer was linked to the static basemap, the original layer file will not be deleted.
