## Overview
Sometimes a Learning has been assigned to the wrong person, is no longer relevant, or a learner has moved on, and you want to take it off their plate. In SuperPath this action is called **Delete** — deleting a Learning from someone removes that assignment so it no longer appears in their **My Learning**. You can do this one person at a time from their profile, or several learners at once from a quick view report. It works for Library content (courses, documents), Pathways, Forms and Events.

> **Good to know:** Deleting a Learning is a soft delete. The assignment stops showing for the learner, but the record is kept behind the scenes for your reporting and history — it is not permanently erased. Learners are not notified when you remove a Learning.

## Delete a learning from a person's profile
Use this when you want to remove a Learning from a single person.

1. Go to the **People** menu and select the user whose Learning you want to remove.

2. On the user's detail page, open the **Learning** section, which lists everything assigned to them.

3. Find the Learning you want to remove and click the **three-dot menu** (⋯) on its row.

5. A success notification appears once the Learning has been removed, and it drops off the person's list.

## Delete a learning from a quick view report
When you want to remove a Learning from one or more people, work from the Learning's own report (reached via **View learners**) rather than each profile. The steps differ slightly depending on the type of Learning.

### Removing Library content from a user

4. Select **Delete** and confirm the deletion.

> **Tip:** To remove several learners at once from a report, tick the checkbox on each learner's row, then use **Bulk Actions → Delete** and confirm. SuperPath tells you how many assignments will be removed before you confirm.

## Things to keep in mind
* Deleting a Learning is a soft delete — it disappears from the learner's **My Learning**, but the record is kept for reporting and history.
* The person keeps their account, profile and the rest of their learning history — only this one assignment is removed.
* Each Learning is a separate row. A course, a Pathway, a Form and an Event are removed individually — removing one does not affect the others.
* Deleting a Learning does not stop it being re-assigned later — you can assign it again at any time.
* If the Learning was an Event synced to the learner's Google Calendar, the calendar entry is removed too.

## FAQs
**Is there an "unassign" button?**
No. SuperPath calls this action **Delete**. Deleting a Learning from a person removes their assignment — it does not delete the person or the underlying content.

**Does deleting a Learning delete the course or Pathway itself?**
No. It only removes that one person's copy. The course, Pathway, Form or Event stays in your Library and remains assigned to everyone else.

**Can I remove a Learning from lots of people at once?**
Yes. Open the Learning's report via **View learners**, tick the people you want, then use **Bulk Actions → Delete**.

**Why can't I remove a completed Learning?**
Removing something a learner has already completed is restricted to Owners and Admins, to protect completion records. Ask an Owner or Admin if you need a completed Learning removed.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can remove any learner's Learning, including completed ones. **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers** and **Instructors** can remove Learnings that are still in progress, subject to their own permissions (for example where they assigned the Learning or the learner is one of their direct reports). Only **Owners** and **Admins** see the **Delete** option on a Learning a person has already completed. **Employees** and **Restricted** users can only remove their own assignments.
