# Remove UV Pins

This is the inverse of the [Add UV Pins](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/UV_Tools_Add_UV_Pins.html.md) command.\
The points of the selected UV elements lose their *Pin* properties and can therefore be moved freely again. To remove all *Pins* in one step you can also use the [Clear UV Pins](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/UV_Tools_Clear_UV_Pins.html.md) command.

To temporarily disable the locking of UV elements, you can also turn off the **Use UV Pins** option.\
You'll find this option as an icon above the *UV Editor* in the *UVEdit* layout (see figure below).
