# Delete Services

Learn how to permanently delete services from your account.

Deleting unused services can help keep [**Manage Services**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/manage-services-overview) organized and reduce clutter when scheduling. However, deleting a service should be done with caution, as it may impact historical data.

**Important Note:** Deleting a service is permanent and cannot be undone.

Before a service can be deleted, all shifts associated with that service must also be deleted. This will remove related historical data, which may impact payroll, billing, and reporting.

As a best practice, consider setting the service to [**Inactive**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/set-services-to-inactive) instead. This preserves historical records while preventing the service from being used for future scheduling.
