# Delete assets

You can delete an asset at any time.

## Before you begin

**Note:** If an asset is a part of an asset bundle, the asset cannot be deleted.

Role required: asset

## About this task

A confirmation must be accepted before the asset and components are permanently deleted. If a CI and asset are linked, deleting one also deletes the other.

Only delete an asset to clean up errors. For tracking purposes, the correct method for managing an asset that is no longer in use is to change the state of the asset to **Retired**.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Asset** > **Portfolios** > **All Assets**.

2.  Select the check box to the left of the asset **Name**.

3.  In the **Actions** choice list below the list, select **Delete**.
