# How to delete a report

To avoid operational errors and inadvertently deleting reports and permissions, Power Embedded has a mechanism similar to a recycle bin, which requires some confirmations before permanently deleting reports.

If you really want to delete a report, the first step is to **Disable** the report. To do this, click the Actions button > Disable

When you disable a report, it goes to a temporary trash. By clicking the "Show disabled" button, you are directed to a screen where you can view the disabled reports.

By clicking the "Actions" button on this screen, you will see the **Remove** option to delete the report.

A warning will be displayed on the screen, informing you that you are removing a report from the system.

By clicking "Remove", the report ceases to exist in the portal and its permissions, RLS configurations, and other dependencies will also be removed.
