## Delete the entire Content Repository

Use the following steps to delete a repository:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Settings**. ![ia_left_nav_settings](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_settings.png)

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> The repository and its associated content are deleted instantly. However, for the changes to reflect on your users' application, you must publish the changes.

## Delete Content Repository links

When deleting individual links, first run a sync to ensure that the content is in sync with the source. If the article is removed from the source, running the sync removes it from the Content Repository as well. If retention in the source Knowledge Base is desired, but the link should not appear in Self Help, follow these steps. However, if you want to retain it in the source Knowledge Base, but don't want to show it as a link in Self Help, then follow these steps.

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> - Whatfix enables you to delete repository links from the Ready stage.
> - If the article has not been deleted in the source Knowledge Base, it reappears in the Content Repository every time you do a sync.
