Try to break it down in small bites - just do as you're told in the challenge and don't try to do anything else :-)

" Can you add a new line to delete the planned variable? Use the del keyword, don't just delete the line."

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned

"Now I need you to add a new variable named total." - "Then assign the sum of current_count and upcoming_releases to total."

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
total = current_count + upcoming_releases
