How do you delete a slur?
I accidentally used a slur instead of a tie, but now I can't delete the slur. The F1 didn't tell me how to delete it. Can anyone help?

Be sure that you're not in the note input mode (press "Esc" to leave it).
Else attache your score you've trouble with.
(and in case the shortcut "del" doesn't work anymore for you, try to revert to factory settings: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/revert-factory-settings)

Try right-clicking on the slur and press the "cut" button in the menu that pops up.

When you click the slur does it turn blue?

I just replicated this issue. In my case, deleting the slur from the tablature staff worked.
It could be you accidentally added multiple slurs, and you now need to delete them all. Click and delete until they are all gone. If you continue to have trouble, please attach your score and describe in more detail where you are having problems, so we can understand the situation and advise better.

It sounds like you are double clicking to select if you need to press ESC before DEL.
I've had trouble deleting slurs and ties, too. Selecting and pressing Delete or using Cut did not work for me. I accidentally discovered that changing the duration of the initial note of the slur or tie made the slur or tie vanish. Then I could change the note duration back to what it was. A clunky work around, but it's the only thing I could get to work.

First, it is best if you attach a score you are having trouble with. I have a theory as to what might be happening. When you click a slur does it turn blue? If not then you have an issue with your score that a few people know how to fix on the forums. If it does turn blue, you may still have the issue, especially if it turns to black when you press delete.

perhaps there are a more than one slurs stacked on top of each other.
If this is the case, maybe that would help: Try multiple times to click and delete the same place.
