# Delete a signature request

Stop a signature request you no longer need by deleting it in Drime Sign, one document or several at once, and what to download before you do.

Drime Sign has no separate Cancel action: to stop a signature request, you delete it. Deleting removes the document from Sign for good.

> **Important**
>
> Deleting cannot be undone. If the document is signed, download the signed PDF and its audit certificate first: see [Follow and download signed documents](https://drime.cloud/support/sign/track-and-download-signed-documents).

## Delete one or several documents

1. Go to **Tools** \> **Sign**.

2. Select the documents to delete.

3. Above the list, click the **Delete** icon.

4. In the confirmation dialog, which names how many documents you selected, click **Delete**.

   The dialog warns: **This will permanently remove the documents and cannot be undone.**

## Delete from the document itself

Open the document in **Tools** \> **Sign**, then click **Delete**. Here, the document is deleted at once, without a confirmation: **Document deleted** confirms it and you return to the list.

The **Delete** button shows only to the person who sent the request.

## Documents in a workspace

You can always delete your own documents. A document created in a workspace belongs to the team: deleting it needs a role that is allowed to delete files in that workspace. See [Use Sign in a workspace](https://drime.cloud/support/sign/sign-in-a-workspace).

## If it doesn't work

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| **You do not have permission to delete this document.** | The document belongs to a workspace and your role cannot delete files there. Ask a workspace admin. |
| **Could not delete documents** | Try again. If you selected team documents, check your role in the workspace. |
| **Delete** is missing in the document | Only the sender of the request can delete it from there. |
