**Objective**: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you'll learn how to delete and existing items in the item manager

You cannot delete items currently being used in an estimate

If you try to delete an item currently being used in an estimate, when you click the **Actions** button, you will see that the **Delete** button is grayed out and you are not allowed to delete that item.

A message will appear that informs you that the **Item is Being Used in an Assembly**
