How to delete references that have already been inserted in word?

I don’t know how to delete the inserted references. Are there any related tutorials?
I have tried 2 methods:
1. Delete the digital label directly after the content of the text
2. Find and delete the reference in the references section at the end of the text, and right-click the corresponding position in the text to select "Update Field"
After trying the 2 methods, click update, the original document still exists...so sad

    What button do you mean when you say "Update field"?
    If your citations in the bibliography don't update you'd want to click the "Refresh" button. That's the 3rd symbol in the Zotero toolbar.

    Just removing the citation as you describe should work. Also, check if you have "update citations automatically" ticked under "Document Preferences". Then if you delete something it should refresh straight away.

    Let's see what you say and then troubleshoot further, if there's a problem.
