# Inactivating Products

## Inactivating one or two products

Proceed to: **Manage** > **Inventory** > **Products**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Change “Active” to NO

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click **Save**

{% endstepper %}

## Inactivating a handful of products

## Deleting Products

If the product has not yet acquired any usage history in your account, you will be able to delete it.

Proceed to: **Manage** > **Inventory** > **Products** > Click on the product name

![Delete product](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Ba9JfhYBfqX7DMj8oNgV/blobs/IMCrvSwcBaMHOqddBiDN/Delete%20product.jpeg)

If the product *has* been sold in the past, added onto an Inventory Use ticket, etc., it cannot be deleted.
