# Delete a person

**For:** Manager | Admin
**You'll need:** A person you want to remove.

You'll mark a person as deleted. Their record stays in the database for audit but is hidden from the standard people list.

## Delete the person

1. Go to **Company → People** in the left sidebar.
2. Open the person.
3. Click **'Delete'**.
4. In the **'Delete person?'** dialog, click **'Delete person'**.

```{note}
This is a soft delete: the membership status becomes **'Deleted'**. Past shifts, leave requests, and reports keep referring to them.
```

## Verify it worked

The person no longer appears in the people list. Reports for past periods still include their data.
