# Archive and delete

> Take products out of your catalogue, restore them, or delete them for good.

There are three ways to take a product out of use.

| Option | Use it when | Can you undo it? |
| - | - | - |
| **Archive** | You no longer sell the product but want to keep it. | Yes |
| **Move to trash** | You want to remove the product. | Yes, until you delete it permanently |
| **Delete permanently** | You are sure the product and its passport data should be gone. | No |

## Archive

Open the **...** menu on a product's row and click **Archive**. To archive several, select them and click **Archive** in the bar.

To see archived products, open **Filters** and choose **Status**, then **Archived**. To bring one back, open its **...** menu and click **Restore**.

## Move to trash

**1. Choose the product**

Open the **...** menu on its row and click **Move to trash**. For several products, select them and click **Move to trash** in the bar.

**2. Confirm**

Type `delete` in the box and click **Move to trash**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Moving a product to the trash switches off its public passport. QR codes on products already in the market stop working until you restore the product and publish it again.

Products in the trash do not count towards your plan's passport limit.

## Restore from the trash

Open the **...** menu at the top of the Passports page and click **Trash**. Open the product's **...** menu and click **Restore**.

A restored product comes back as a draft. Publish it again to make its passport live.

## Delete permanently

Only products in the trash can be deleted permanently.

**1. Open the trash**

Open the **...** menu at the top of the Passports page and click **Trash**.

**2. Delete**

Open the product's **...** menu and click **Delete permanently**. For several products, select them and click **Delete permanently** in the bar.

**3. Confirm**

Type `delete` in the box and confirm.

> [!WARNING]
