# Delete an instance

> Ensure instance can be deleted.

## Objective

Ensure an admin user can delete an existing instance and verify the deletion is successful.

## Prerequisites

* You must have a valid admin account. If you do not have credentials, please request them from your system administrator.
* At least one instance must already exist.

## Steps

1. Log in to the Papyrus app as an admin and navigate to the home section with the instances list: [https://papyrus.hownee.com/app/home](https://papyrus.hownee.com/app/home)
   * *Screenshot needed: Instances list page before deletion.*

2. Select the instance you wish to delete. Please specify the instance name below:

   ```
   [Insert instance name here]
   ```

3. Click the **Delete** button or similar action for the selected instance.
   * *Screenshot needed: Delete confirmation dialog or progress indicator.*

4. Confirm the deletion when prompted. Wait for the system to process the deletion. This may take a few minutes.
   * *Video recommended: Record the deletion process and confirmation of completion.*

5. Once the system responds, verify that the instance is removed from the list and is no longer accessible.
   * *Screenshot needed: Instances list page after deletion.*

## Expected Results

* The instance is successfully deleted and is no longer accessible.
* If the deletion fails, an appropriate error message is displayed (please capture a screenshot if this occurs).
