Deleting an Adjustment Layer
When you delete an adjustment layer you are simply deleting the adjustment, not the image. Adjustment layers do not contain image data; they only manipulate the information contained within the image layer. Deleting an adjustment layer is as easy as deleting any other layer type. The effect is the same; the function of the layer is removed from the document. For example, if you delete a curves adjustment layer, the effects are removed and the image returns to its original state. When you delete an Adjustment layer, the change to the image induced by the adjustment layer is removed, and the image returns to normal.
