# Delete a resource

> Permanently remove a resource and all its infrastructure

Deleting a resource permanently destroys all associated infrastructure and data.

<Warning>
  This action is irreversible. All workspaces, data, and configuration within the resource are permanently deleted.
</Warning>

## Who can delete

Only organization **owners** can delete a resource. Organization members do not have access to the delete action.

## How to delete

1. Go to the resource detail page
2. Click the **Delete** button in the header
3. A confirmation dialog appears — review what will be destroyed
4. Confirm the deletion

## What gets destroyed

When you delete a resource, CodeWire removes:

* The Coder application and all its workspaces
* The database
* The isolated environment
* The TLS certificate
* The DNS record
* All organization memberships for this resource

## Status transitions

After confirming deletion:

```
Running → Deleting → Deleted
```

The resource enters **Deleting** state while the infrastructure is torn down, then moves to **Deleted** once cleanup is complete.

## Recovering a deleted resource

Deleted resources cannot be recovered. If you need the same subdomain, you can create a new resource with it after the old one is fully deleted.
