# How to Delete an Uploaded Resume or Parsed Candidate
If a resume has been uploaded incorrectly or needs to be removed, you can delete it directly from the candidate's profile in the Resume Screening step. This article walks you through how to do that.
***
### Where to Find the Delete Option?
The option to delete an uploaded resume is available inside the candidate's profile, under the **Resume** sub-tab.
***
### Who Can Delete an Uploaded Resume?
| Role | Can Delete Resume |
| :--------------- | :---------------- |
| Master Recruiter | ✅ Yes |
| Recruiter | ✅ Yes |
| Evaluator | ❌ No |
***
### Steps to Delete an Uploaded Resume
**Step 1: Open the workflow**
Navigate to the relevant workflow from your dashboard.
**Step 2: Go to the Screening step**
Click on the **Screening** step within the workflow to view the list of candidates.
**Step 3: Open the candidate's profile**
Click on the candidate whose resume you want to delete.
**Step 4: Navigate to the Resume sub-tab**
Inside the candidate profile, go to the **Overview** tab and click on the **Resume** sub-tab. You will see:
* The uploaded resume file
* The **fitment label** (Low Fit, Potential Fit, or Strong Fit) and **reasoning summary** - these are only visible if the resume fitment feature has been enabled for your organization
**Step 5: Click the "✕" button**
On the top right corner of the resume file, click the "**✕"** button. This will delete the uploaded resume from the candidate's profile.
***
### What Happens After Deletion?
* The uploaded resume file is removed from the candidate's profile
* The fitment score and reasoning summary associated with that resume will no longer be available
* If you wish to re-evaluate the candidate, you will need to upload a new resume and allow the system to re-parse and regenerate the fitment score
***
**Important Notes**
* Deleting a resume is a **permanent action** - the file cannot be recovered once removed
* Deleting a resume does not remove the candidate from the workflow, only the resume file and its associated fitment score are deleted
* To upload a new resume for the same candidate after deletion, refer to [*How to Upload a Candidate Resume and Meet File Requirements*](https://docs.talview.com/hiring-teams/recruiter/screening/how-tos/how-to-upload-a-candidate-resume-and-meet-file-requirements)
