# Delete an Alias

Contentstack allows you to delete an alias that you created in your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack).

**Note:** Unless you are the Owner or Admin of the stack, you cannot delete aliases created by other stakeholders.

To delete an alias, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://app.contentstack.com/#!/login), go to your stack, and perform the following steps:

1.  Click the “Settings” icon on the left navigation panel, select **Branches,** and click on the **Aliases** tab to view the list of available aliases.
2.  Hover over the alias you want to delete, click on the “More Options” icon (three vertical dots) that appears at the extreme right end, and select **Delete**.![image.png](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt23180bf2502c7444/bltb2076ae6c5b6ab70/615a8202c22cd45706cf29d5/image.png)
3.  Type in your alias ID and confirm the **Delete** action.

**Warning:** These steps will permanently delete the alias.
