deleting a highlight?

Seems like it would be simple, so I must be overlooking something glaringly obvious?

Tap anywhere in the highlighted section and the note box will pop up. At the bottom is a trash button.

heheh, I knew it was something that easy. What was throwing me off was when highlighting the passage and clicking on highlight options that same dialogue box pops up with the trash icon, but, that method won't let you delete what you've already highlighted.

This one threw me for a loop too. Now I understand.

However, it would be nice to be able to delete highlights and notes from the list view using the standard IOS swipe gesture. There is a button at the bottom to delete all, but if I want to delete only some of them, I must go to each one individually and remove it.

The same thing applies for bookmarks. Deleting multiple, but not all, items requires opening the book to that item and deleting it.

@fireflyer - You're right. Deleting individual highlights and bookmarks from the list is on my to-do list.
