# Unable to delete content or widget

## Issue

You are unable to delete content or widgets on the CLM dashboard.

## Probable Causes

- Your assigned [Whatfix User Role](/studio/docs/whatfix-user-roles) doesn't enable you to delete content or widgets in the Production stage. Only an **Account Manager** can perfom delete actions.
- Content and widgets can only be deleted when they are in the **Draft** or **Ready** stages.

## Suggested Solution

If you want to delete content or widgets that are in the **Production** stage, **Unpublish** them from production, and then delete them in the Draft or Ready stages. ![clm_db_unpublish](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/clm_db_unpublish.jpg)
