# Delete demands

Demands can be deleted only while in the Pending state.

## Before you begin

Role required: it\_demand\_manager or it\_demand\_user

## About this task

When you delete a demand, all data related to the demand, such as risks, demand tasks, requirements, and decisions are deleted. However, the stakeholders aren’t deleted from the Stakeholder Register \[dmn\_stakeholders\_register\] table.

If a project is already created from a demand, its reference is removed from the project along with the data related to the demand. However, the project isn’t deleted from the database.

To delete a demand:

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Demand** > **Demands** > **All**.

2.  Do:

    -   Select the demand to open the demand form and then select **Delete**.
    -   Select the check box next to the demand and then select **Delete** from the **Actions** list.
