# 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:

1.  Go to your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack), and click on the “Releases” icon. 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.
2.  Click on the Release from which you want to remove the item(s).
3.  Hover over the entry/asset and click on the “Delete” icon that appears on the extreme right.![remove\_entry\_asset\_from\_a\_release\_1\_highlighted.png](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt23180bf2502c7444/bltec751ac51d324053/60b3c70fcda43e2520906d4e/remove_entry_asset_from_a_release_1_highlighted.png)
