# Delete an absence registration

You can delete an absence registration from Absence in Capitech Flow. Find the correct absence line, press Delete, and confirm the deletion.

## When can you delete absence?

You can delete an absence registration if the absence is incorrectly registered or should no longer be associated with the employee.

This may, for example, be relevant if:

-   the absence is registered to the wrong employee
-   the absence is registered on the wrong date
-   the absence should not have been registered
-   the absence should be removed instead of corrected

## How to delete an absence registration

1.  Go to **Absence** in Capitech Flow.
2.  Find the absence registration you want to delete.
3.  Click on the relevant line to open a more detailed overview, and choose **Delete**.
4.  Confirm that the absence should be deleted in the pop-up window on your screen.
5.  The absence is removed from the registration.

## What happens when the absence is deleted?

When you confirm the deletion, the absence is removed.

If the absence comes from an **absence request**, the request remains with status **Deleted**. This is done to retain a log of submitted absence requests.

## Important to know about deleting absence requests

An absence request that has been submitted does not completely disappear from the history even if the absence is deleted.

The application remains with status **Deleted**, so that you still have traceability for submitted and processed absence requests.
