# Delete and restore profiles

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/3LNy5Uig8v0?si=bdXhcroFctRqRtxM>" %}

Deleting a profile sends it to the **Deleted** tab in **Trash**, where it stays for 7 days before being permanently removed. During that window, it can be restored at any time.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deleted profiles are permanently removed after 7 days. If you need to reduce your profile count due to plan limits but want to keep the cloud data and reuse the profile in the future, try disable and re-enable instead.
{% endhint %}

### Delete a profile

1. In the profile list, click the three-dot menu on the profile you want to delete.
2. Click **Delete**.
3. Review the confirmation dialog and click **Delete**.

The profile moves to **Trash** and remains recoverable for 7 days.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleting a profile removes its tags permanently. If you restore it, group and proxy assignments return automatically. Reassign tags manually after restoration.
{% endhint %}

### Restore a deleted profile

Restoring a profile returns it to its original group with its proxy intact. Tags are not restored, so you will need to reassign them manually.

1. Click **Trash** in the left sidebar.
2. Click the **Deleted** tab.
3. Find the profile you want to restore and click **Restore**.

The profile is returned to your active profile list.

You can also restore **multiple profiles at once** by selecting the profiles you want to restore. The **Restore** button appears in the action bar at the bottom of the page, allowing you to restore all selected profiles at once. All selected profiles are returned to your active profile list.

### Delete multiple profiles at once

2. In the **action bar at the bottom** of the screen, click the **Delete button**.

All the selected profiles are moved to the trash.
