# Deleting an Asset

> Delete an Asset from your Ledger in the Console when it is no longer used — your deployment's data retention and compliance policies still apply.

<Danger>
  When you delete an Asset, Midaz removes it from active listings. Your deployment's data retention and compliance policies apply. In regulated environments, your deployment can keep the record for audit, regulatory, or reporting purposes. Review your retention policy before you delete an Asset.
</Danger>

To delete an Asset, follow these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    On the **Assets** page, find the Asset to delete. In the **Actions** column, click the three dots (<Icon icon="ellipsis-vertical" />), then select **Delete**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    A confirmation dialog appears.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Confirm** to delete the Asset.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Midaz removes the **Asset** from active listings. Your deployment's data retention and compliance policies still apply.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Deleting an Asset soft-deletes all active External Accounts with the same Asset code in that Organization and Ledger.
