# How can I delete a claim?

## Deleting a Claim

An archived claim that is ***never*** submitted will be categorized as 'deleted.'

- To archive an unsubmitted claim, navigate to the View/Edit Claim screen, and click the red **Archive** button. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/367e6528-88da-4443-9da1-fcdd7e6d4d49/Images/Documentation/image-1728057551593.png)

## Bulk Claim Delete/Archive

1. On a page such as **Manage Claims**, click the **View Claims** button to open the list of claims. *Note:* If a claim has **not yet been submitted**, it will display as **deleted** once archived.
2. Select the claims you want to delete or archive. You can check individual boxes next to each claim or click the checkbox in the **upper-left corner to select all claims at once**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/367e6528-88da-4443-9da1-fcdd7e6d4d49/Images/Documentation/image-1761144279312.png)
3. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the **Selected Actions** drop-down menu and choose **Archive**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/367e6528-88da-4443-9da1-fcdd7e6d4d49/Images/Documentation/image-1761144374826.png)
4. A confirmation pop-up will appear showing how many claims will be archived or deleted. Review the details carefully, then click **Archive Selected** to confirm. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/367e6528-88da-4443-9da1-fcdd7e6d4d49/Images/Documentation/image-1761144397159.png)
5. After confirmation, claims that **have not yet been submitted** will be **deleted**, while claims that **have already been submitted** will be **archived**.

## Restoring a Deleted Claim

To retrieve and restore a deleted claim:

1. Navigate to the **Reporting** page in the left navigation menu
2. Select the **Claim Activity** report (*if already on the Reporting page, click the **New Report** button on the top of the page first*).
3. Enter the report parameters that would encompass the deleted claim, and click **Generate**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/367e6528-88da-4443-9da1-fcdd7e6d4d49/Images/Documentation/image-1728057298550.png)

Claims that ***have*** been submitted are still categorized as 'archived'.
