You can delete an asset at any time.

## Before you begin

Note:  
If an asset is a part of an asset bundle, the asset cannot be deleted.

Role required: asset

## About this task

A confirmation must be accepted before the asset and components are permanently
deleted. If a CI and asset are linked, deleting one also deletes the other.

Only delete an asset to clean up errors. For tracking purposes, the correct method
for managing an asset that is no longer in use is to change the state of the asset
to Retired.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAssetPortfoliosAll Assets.
2. Select the check box to the left of the asset Name.
3. In the Actions choice list below the list, select Delete.
