Does anyone know how to delete a drop shadow from an Illustrator/vector file?

I made an image in Illustrator and added a drop shadow under effects. Now I want to use that image without the drop shadow, and I can't seem to get rid of the shadow. The only way I know how is to draw the image over again. Any tips would be appreciated.Does anyone know how to delete a drop shadow from an Illustrator/vector file?
Sure thing, first select the image with the Selection or Direct Selection Tool.





Now open your Appearance Palette (Window -%26gt; Appearance or Shift+F6).





You will see all of the objects attributes including fill, stroke, etc. You should see the drop shadow listed here.





Single-click the drop shadow in the Appearance palette, and click the trash can icon (Delete Selected Item) on the bottom of the palette. The drop shadow should disappear.





*Note* As you've specified, this is the way to delete a drop shadow when used from the Effects menu. If you had added the drop shadow via the Filter menu (Filter -%26gt; Stylize -%26gt; Drop Shadow), then you would go into the layers palette to delete it.

could also select shadow and delete, may be best to use new layer for different sections to allow editing after,
