# Delete an exporter

# Delete an exporter {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil

Delete an exporter to ensure that users cannot use it to generate config
data.

## Before you begin

Important:  
DevOps Config is now deprecated and no longer supported or available for new activation.

Role required: cdm_exporter_editor or cdm_editor or cdm_admin

## About this task

* You cannot delete, modify, or activate exporters that are included in the CDM content pack. Exporters in the content pack have a Source value of ServiceNow.
* If an exporter has performed a standard execution, you cannot delete it. This ensures a complete and accurate audit trail. You can archive an exporter that has performed a standard execution. See [Archive an exporter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/K8jIcjLndlLMBoickPNWJg "Archive an exporter to preserve its record and remove it from the lists that you use in your everyday work.").
* If an exporter does not have a standard execution, then you can delete all draft versions and published versions by deleting the exporter.
* You can delete any draft version of an exporter.

Tip:  
You cannot generate a draft version of a content pack exporter, but you can duplicate one and edit draft versions of the duplicate. Editing a duplicate of a content pack exporter is a good way to create a custom exporter. See [Create a custom exporter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/WQ0RgicHkCdcX2LgLsE9pw "Copy an existing exporter script as a starting point for a custom exporter.").

## Procedure

1. Use either of the following methods to delete all versions of an exporter: While working on an exporter on the Exporter builder tab or viewing a list of exporters, select the exporter and then select Delete.
