Delete unwanted or unused indicators from your instance. Deleting indicators is risky, so there are several restrictions.

## Before you begin

Besides roles, check that you meet the following requirements before trying to delete an indicator:

* Your instance has an active entitlement to the subscription version of Performance Analytics. For more information, see [Activating your Performance Analytics subscription](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~2DytOm1Q7JF0IR~wGeZ3Q#c_PremiumPerformanceAnalytics "Without a paid Performance Analytics subscription, your use is limited to 180 days of data collection (five months for monthly indicators) and to specific indicators provided by ServiceNow. For unlimited access to all features, purchase a subscription to Performance Analytics.").
* If your instance is domain-separated, you have visibility into the same domain as the indicator.
* The indicator that you want to delete is not being used in a formula indicator. If it is so used, see whether you can delete those formula indicators first.
* The indicator is not a benchmark indicator.

Role required: pa_data_collector (requires that the indicator record is visible to this role; cannot delete external indicators), pa_power_user, pa_admin, or admin

## About this task

Warning:  
Deleting an indicator deletes all scores for that indicator. Consider the risk of creating a data gap before you delete an indicator.

## Procedure

1. Use one of the following navigation paths:
   * If you're on an instance that has not fully migrated to Platform Analytics, navigate to AllPerformance AnalyticsIndicators\[type of indicator\], and locate the indicator you want to delete.
   * If you're on an instance that has fully migrated to Platform Analytics, navigate to AllPlatform Analytics AdministrationIndicators\[type of indicator\], and locate the indicator you want to delete.

2. Open the indicator record.
3. Make sure you are in the same application scope as the indicator.
4. Select Delete.  
   If you don't see a Delete button, check that you meet the requirements for deleting the indicator.
5. Confirm.
