# Deleting a panel

You have three deletion options when deleting a panel. To delete a panel, go to the Panels All Panels page, and click on the panel you want to delete. From there, scroll to the bottom or click on Delete Panel on the right sidebar.

The three options available to you are (from least destructive to most destructive):

1. Remove all panelists from the panel, but don't delete the panelists. (The Panel is deleted, Panelists are untouched).
2. Remove all panelist from the panel, and delete any panelists that don't exist in other panels. (The Panel is deleted, and all panelists that exist in other panels are untouched. If a Panelist does not also exist in another panel, they will be deleted).
3. Delete all panelists in this panel and from any other panel they are associated with. (All panelists that are in this panel will be deleted. They will also be deleted from every other panel in your team)

For example, if Joe Smith is in Panel 1 and Panel 2, and Jane Smith is in Panel 1, and you want to delete Panel 1.

Option One will not delete either panelist, but will delete Panel 1

Option Two will delete Jane Smith (since she is only in this panel), and it will delete Panel 1. Joe Smith will not be deleted.

Option Three will delete **both** Joe Smith and Jane Smith, and delete Panel 1.

Only **Admins** have this access.

**Important:** This process CANNOT be reversed, so only delete a panel if you are 100% sure.

**Note:** Private Panels was previously managed outside of Dscout, so you may see a different logo and URL in some places. If you have any questions, contact <support@dscout.com>.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/private-panels/panel-management/deleting-a-panel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
