# Delete a level

> Remove a competition level you no longer need.

## Prerequisites

* The level must exist. See [Create a level](https://docs.gymart.org/levels/create-a-level).

## Steps

1. From the meet admin, go to **Levels**.
2. Find the level you want to remove.
3. Click the **delete** icon or option on the level.
4. Confirm the deletion.

## What gets removed

Deleting a level removes everything attached to it:

* All **score settings** for that level.
* Any **competitions** (age groups and subdivisions) under that level.
* Gymnasts who were registered under that level may need to be reassigned.
* Existing **scores** tied to that level's competitions are affected.

Because of this, delete levels before competition starts, not during or after.

## When you should delete a level

* You created a duplicate by mistake.
* The governing body changed the level structure and you need to rebuild.
* You are restructuring the meet before registration opens.

If you only need to change the name or settings, **edit** the level instead of deleting and recreating it. And if registrations already exist for this level, handle those registrations first.

Deleting a level **cannot be undone**. Double-check before confirming.
