How to remove empty Extra Staff from Manual Staff Visibility window?

Hi! I made one unnecessary staff below the main one. It’s empty. But I can’t delete it from Manual Staff Visibility window.
Is it possible to remove it completely?

Manual staff visibility only makes it invisible. What you need is to show all signposts and delete the signpost that says ‘+1 staff’

I deleted the ‘+1 staff’ signpost, but the staff still in Manual Staff Visibility window.

Edit: Restarting the program didn’t help.

Strange. But maybe that’s just how it works. I guess once you create an extra staff, it remains latent in the project. If that is the case, I’d like to suggest to the developers to consider removing it altogether when closing the project, analogous to the cleaning up of unused voices.

If the program deleted the staff entirely, how would one get rid of notes on it that still play (which IIRC they do)?

Of course only delete it if it’s unused, i.e. empty altogether.

If you really want to get rid of that extra staff, your best bet is to create a new player holding the same instrument, copy the music across from the original instrument to the new one, and then delete the original one.
