Red button missing

I'm trying to delete an incorrect item from my food diary. However, when I select food, the red button does dot appear beside any of the items. Why? How do I find it?
Thanks

    If you're using the app, you need to hold your finger on the item until your options are given. I think they are copy, save as meal, delete.

    On the web version, the red minus sign should still be there.

    yeah it's been missing for a while but if you click where it should be, the function still works.

    same as above: I'm trying to delete an incorrect item from my food diary. However, when I select food, the red button does dot appear beside any of the items. Why? How do I find it? Someone suggested clicking where it should be; however, that does not work either. I also have a different Calendar day view. Only the current date shows and if i want to advance or go back there is a very thin line on either side of the current date that I have to click. Previously, I could get a little calendar to pop up and I could scroll through that. Any suggestions?

    Which version of MFP are you using: Web? Apple/iOS phone/tablet? Android phone/tablet? It's slightly different in each of those.

    I too am having this problem. The red button is gone. Even if I click on the empty space nothing gets deleted. But what works is to change quantity to zero and move the food to your snacks at the bottom. It than appears in your snacks with zero across the board! MFP needs to fix this problem. In the meantime try my fix.

    I can't delete a food item in the diary. I'm missing the delete "red button" on my Apple Mac.

    Also same here intermittently using free version on Apple Ipad. If I make an error I click on item & reduce amount to 0 to enter 0 calories & then just make a new entry!

    It also happens to me once in a while. I use both the webpage and the app so when they disappear from the webpage, I just open the app and remove them from there. If you only use the webpage, as has already been stated, just change the quantity to zero until the delete button returns.

    Swipe left in the app, or hit the “edit” radio button at the very top left of the diary.

    Just be careful. If you’re on the iOS app, it’s very easy to accidentally delete all.

    Ask me how I know. 🤦🏻‍♀️
