Can anyone help me get rid of these 2 boxes?

I can't figure out how they showed up in the first place. I've removed the check marks next to all my layers and the boxes won't go away.

I would rather not have to start over from scratch.

  • It's confusing but seeing what the cursor changed to is how to tell what mode it's in. I was clicking in the box and wondering why it wasn't working as it was making more annotations. Commented Jun 13, 2024 at 7:08

Those are annotations. To delete an annotation:

  1. Select the annotation button at the end of the Attributes toolbar.

  2. Double-click on the annotation to open the annotation editing window. Click Delete.

Annotations are a useful way to add text or images to a map, unless you add them by accident, in which case they're really annoying. In QGIS 3, you can link an annotation to a particular map layer, so it only displays when that layer is active.
