# Deleting a location

When a location is no longer needed, you can delete it from Proplanum. The deletion is permanent and irreversible — it erases the location together with all the data linked to it. Only the **Organisation Administrator** can perform this action.

||| Caution: Deleting a location is irreversible. There is no archive and no restore option — a deleted location cannot be recovered. Along with the location, all linked data is erased: work schedules, time tracking entries, location settings, assigned positions and tags.

## How to delete a location

1. In the menu on the left click **Locations** (the **ORGANISATION** group). You will see the list of locations.
2. On the location you want to delete, click the **⋮** icon (three dots) on the right of the row.
3. From the menu choose **"Delete permanently"** — it is the last item at the bottom of the menu, marked in red as a destructive action.

4. The **"Confirm Location Deletion"** window appears. Hold the **"Hold to delete"** button down for three seconds. A short click will not delete the location — that is a safeguard against accidental erasure.

Once finished, the location disappears from the list along with all its data.

# When deletion is blocked

You cannot delete a location that is the main location of any employees. Instead of a confirmation window you will then see the message **"This location cannot be deleted."** with a note that it is the main location of some employees and that they have to be assigned to another location first.

* Open the employee editor and change their main location to another one.
* Do this for every employee whose main location is the one being deleted.
* Once no employee has this location as their main one, the **"Delete permanently"** action will work.
