# Delete Question/Statement

Access: DMP Administrator, DMP Contributor

Once questions/statements (QS) are submitted, they can be deleted using the Delete button on the Data Entry pane for the selected QS and also from the Question List table. Only DMP Administrators and DMP Contributors can delete QSs.

NOTE: Deleting a question will also delete all of the related content saved to that specific question (e.g., responses, branching, educational content, etc.).

There are two ways to delete a QS, as described below:

1. In the Explorer pane, select the QS to be deleted by clicking once on the folder or record. The QS will display in the Data Entry pane.

NOTE: Content that has been locked by a DMP Administrators cannot be deleted. The Delete button will NOT display for those QSs that are locked.

2. Click the Delete button.

3. A confirmation message will display stating that deleting the QS will also delete all of the related content (e.g., frequency, responses, alerts, branching, etc.).

4. Click Yes.

5. An information message will display at the top of the window indicating that the question/statement was deleted successfully.

6. The QS will be removed from the Explorer and Data Entry (Question/Statement List window) panes. Deleting a QS will consequently cause all of the QS Order Numbers to be renumbered (as required); however, if the deleted QS is the last QS in the DMP, this reordering will, of course, not occur. (See Reorder Question/Statement.)
