# Delete a Secret

> Delete one or more secrets in Syteca from the Password Management page using the Bulk Action menu, with a confirmation step before removal.

Deleting a secret removes it from Syteca. You can delete a single secret or several at once from the Password Management page. This page explains who can delete secrets and the steps to do it.

<Note>
  A secret can only be deleted by a user with the **Owner** [Role Type permissions](/docs/pam/secrets/permissions) for that secret.

<Warning>
  Deleting a secret is permanent. Make sure the secret is no longer needed before you confirm.
