Real-time item management helps you improve all your business processes. Visit [this article](https://help.precoro.com/item-management-1?hsLang=en) to learn more about how this can work in Precoro.
You can manage your items by fully deleting them or by deactivating them on the Item Management page.
💡 **Please note:** All users with the **Item Management (Create)** role in Precoro can use the delete and deactivate functions. Items currently used in Inventory cannot be deleted; they can only be deactivated.
### How to Delete Items
#### Individual Deletion
1\. Go to the Item Management page and find the item you want to delete.
2\. Press the red bin icon in the **Edit** column on the right and confirm it.
**💡 Please note:** Items that have already been used in documents cannot be deleted; items that have been removed cannot be restored.

#### Mass Delete
You can Delete the necessary options in bulk on the Item Management page by using the Delete button on the right action panel.
Click the **Delete** **Items** button on the right action panel. Select the necessary items with checkmarks and press the **Delete Selected** button to delete more than one.

💡 **Please note:** The checkbox and bin icon next to items already used in documents or integrations are disabled. Such items will not be automatically selected for bulk deletion.

### How to Delete the Already In-Use Items
You can deactivate unwanted items so that they will not display in your catalog anymore and will not be available for ordering. You can do that either:
#### Individual Deactivation
1\. Go to the **Item Management** section and find the item you want to hide.
2\. Click the **Edit** button in the column on the right. Tick the **Inactive** box and **Save** your changes.
**💡 Please note:** Inactive items can be restored if needed (untick the Inactive box).

#### Mass Deactivation
1\. Click **Update Items** or **Import Items** options on the right action panel in Item Management**.**
