# How to Delete Knowledge Base Article

In Skara, you can permanently delete a knowledge base article if it is no longer needed. This action removes the article from the system and cannot be undone, so ensure that deletion is the right choice before proceeding.

<Note>
  **Note:** You need **"Delete Articles"** permission to unarchive an article.

### How to Delete an Article

* Click on Articles under More from left side outreach.
* If multiple knowledge bases exist, select the appropriate one from the top left corner.

This action is irreversible."** If you prefer to retain the article but remove it from visibility, consider **archiving** instead.
