# How to delete a scheduled exam slot
Administrators may occasionally need to remove a scheduled exam slot due to scheduling changes, operational adjustments, or incorrect slot creation. You can delete an existing slot from the **Capacity** schedule when it is no longer required.
This article explains how to delete an exam slot from the **Capacity** table.
***
### Before You Begin
Make sure that:
* The slot you want to delete exists in the **Capacity** schedule.
* The slot does **not have candidates currently taking the exam**, as such slots cannot be deleted.
* If candidates are assigned to the slot, they may need to be **rescheduled to another slot** before deletion.
***
### Step-by-Step Guide
**1. Open the Capacity tab**
Navigate to the **Capacity** tab inside the center configuration.
This page displays all scheduled slots along with details such as **date, time, exam type, assigned rooms, and seat capacity**.
**2. Locate the slot you want to delete**
Scroll through the **Capacity table** to find the slot that needs to be removed.
Each row represents a scheduled slot and displays the relevant scheduling details.
**3. Open the slot actions menu**
On the right side of the slot row, click the **menu** to view the available actions for that slot.
**4. Select the delete option**
From the menu, click **Delete slot**.
A confirmation dialog will appear to prevent accidental deletion.
**5. Review the deletion confirmation**
The confirmation modal displays a warning indicating that deleting the slot will permanently remove it from the **Capacity** schedule.
**6. Confirm slot deletion**
Click **Delete slot** to proceed with the deletion.
The slot will be removed from the **Capacity table** and will no longer be available for candidate booking.
**Additional Tips**
* Slots with **active or ongoing exam sessions** cannot be deleted.
* If candidates are already assigned to a slot, you may need to **reschedule or cancel their bookings** before deleting it.
* Deleting a slot **frees the room capacity** for that time period.
* Always verify the **slot date, time, and room allocation** before confirming deletion.
