# Delete registry

> Delete a W&B Registry as a Team admin or Registry admin using the Python SDK or the W&B UI.

This page shows how a Team admin or Registry admin can delete a registry. Admins can programmatically or interactively delete a registry with the W\&B Python SDK or the W\&B UI.

Permissions to delete a registry depend on your role:

* A Team admin can delete any registry in the organization.
* A Registry admin can delete a registry that they created.

Deleting a registry also deletes collections that belong to that registry, but doesn't delete artifacts linked to the registry. Such artifacts remain in the original project that they were logged to.

    Use the `wandb` API's `delete()` method to delete a registry programmatically. The following example illustrates how to:

    1. Fetch the registry you want to delete with `api.registry()`.
    2. Call the `delete()` method on the returned registry object to delete the registry.

    Replace `[REGISTRY-NAME]` with the name of your registry.

    ```python theme={null}
    import wandb

    # Initialize the W&B API
    api = wandb.Api()

    # Fetch the registry you want to delete
    fetched_registry = api.registry("[REGISTRY-NAME]")

    # Deleting a registry
    fetched_registry.delete()
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="W&B UI">
    1. Navigate to the W\&B Registry at [https://wandb.ai/registry/](https://wandb.ai/registry/).
    2. Select the registry you want to delete.
    3. Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner to view the registry's settings.
    4. To delete the registry, click the trash can icon in the upper-right corner of the settings page.
    5. Confirm the registry to delete by entering its name in the modal that appears, then click **Delete**.
