Delete an Entry

Deleting an entry removes it from your stack and any environments or entries where it is being used. Use this action with caution, as deleted entries will no longer be available unless restored from the trash within the retention period.

To delete an entry, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the following steps:

1. Go to your stack and click on the “Entries” icon (press "E"), on the left navigation panel.
2. Open the entry you want to delete.
3. Click on horizontal ellipses at the bottom of the entry editor and select Delete.
4. Click Delete to confirm your action.

Alternatively, you can also delete an entry from the entries list page. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. On the entries list page, locate the entry you want to delete.
2. Select one of the following methods to delete the entry:
   1. Click the vertical ellipsis in the Actions column.
   2. Select the checkbox next to the entry, and use the options available in the floating panel.
3. Select Delete.
4. Click Delete to confirm your action.

Tip: For efficiency, you can delete entries in bulk.
