# [Create and Manage Releases NEW] - Remove Entry/Asset from a Release

This page explains how to remove entries or assets from a Release in Contentstack. It is intended for content managers (and developers supporting release workflows) who need to adjust a Release before it has been deployed.

## Remove Entry/Asset from a Release

**Note**: You can only remove item(s) from a Release if you haven’t deployed the Release.

To remove item(s) from a Release, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://app.contentstack.com/#!/login), and perform the following steps:
- Go to your [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack), and click on the “Releases” icon on the left navigation panel. This opens the **Releases** page where you can see a list of existing Releases in the stack. You can also use the shortcut key “alt + R” for Windows OS users, and “option + R” for Mac OS users to access Releases.
- Click on the Release from which you want to remove the item(s).
- Hover over the entry/asset and click on the “Delete” icon that appears on the extreme right.
- Click on **Remove** to confirm your action.

Alternatively, you can also select the entry/asset and click on the **Remove** button that appears on the top of the list.
