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 AllDemandDemandsAll.
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.
