# Deleting panelists

Other than [panelists deleting their own data](/private-panels/panel-management/panelist-consent-and-opt-in.md), their data can also be deleted by an [admin](/private-panels/organization-settings/user-management-and-permissions.md) from your organization in **Panel Panelists**.

Panelists can be deleted one by one or by using [Bulk Actions](/private-panels/panel-management/bulk-actions-in-the-panel.md). The latter can only be done by admins and not regular users. Follow the steps below to do either:

## Deleting a panelist

All of the details in the table within the Panelists page are hyperlinks denoted by the underline that appears when you hover over them. Clicking any of these will open the profile of the associated panelist. Scroll down to the bottom to access the **Delete panelist** button. Click **OK** on the dialog box that appears at the top when you click the **Delete panelist** button to proceed with the deletion.

## Deleting multiple panelists simultaneously

Deleting multiple panelists simultaneously can be done with **Bulk Actions**. Here's how:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Select the panelists you'd like to delete by either ticking the checkbox that appears when you hover your mouse cursor over their names. To select all of the panelists, click the ticked checkbox icon beside the **First Name** column header, then click **Select all** from the drop-down options.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **Bulk Actions** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select **Delete from panel** from the drop-down options.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A dialog box will pop-up at the top of the screen where you can either confirm or cancel the action. To confirm, type **permanently delete panelists** on the textbox within the pop-up.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **OK** button on the pop-up.

{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
