I've got 4 staves for an exercise.

I'm interested in deleting Staff 2 for some measures, then deleting only Staff 3 for some meausures, keeping the other 3, and so on.

I appreciate your valuable help.

You will need all 4 staves all the way, but you will hide the ones you don't want in selected systems (not deleting anything).
In page view, if these staves are empty (really empty, no entered rests), go to the Staff tool, select the system, and use Hide Empty Staves in the staff menu.
If the staves are NOT empty, use a staff style, which is ready to use (Staff menu -> Apply Staff Styles -> Hide / Collapse).
