# Delete an Amazon DataZone asset
<a name="delete-data-asset"></a>

When you no longer need an asset in Amazon DataZone, you can permanently delete it. Deleting an asset is different than unpublishing an asset from the catalog. You can delete an asset and its related listing in the catalog so that it's not visible in any search results. To delete the asset listing, you must first revoke all of its subscriptions. 

To delete an asset, you must be the owner or the contributor of the project to which the asset belongs:

**Note**  
In order to delete an asset listing, you must first revoke all existing subscriptions to the asset. You can't delete an asset listing that has existing subscribers.

**To delete and asset**

1. Navigate to the Amazon DataZone data portal URL and sign in using single sign-on (SSO) or your AWS credentials. If you’re an Amazon DataZone administrator, you can navigate to the Amazon DataZone console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone](https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone) and sign in with the AWS account where the domain was created, then choose **Open data portal**.

1. Choose **Select project** from the top navigation pane and select the project that contains the asset that you want to delete.

1. Navigate to the **Data** tab for the project.

1. Choose **Published data** from the left navigation pane, then locate and choose the asset that you want to delete. This opens the asset details page.

1. Choose **Actions**, **Delete** and confirm deletion.

   Once the asset is deleted, it's no longer available to view and users can't subscribe to it.
