# Deleting consent approval

In some cases, Guest may reach out to either revoke their consent or advise duplication in submission. Regardless of the reason, admins are responsible for deleting consent approvals when needed. To delete consent approval, follow these steps:

1. Locate the **consent approval record** from the table listed on the Consent Request Link detail page.

👉 If the consent approval led to the creation of a **new person in the Recognition system**, you’ll also have the option to delete that person.

Select whether the consent should be deleted or consent status be updated as *Revoked*.
