# Delete a data source

When you delete a data source, all reports or charts that end-users created using that data source no longer render.

1. Open the Data Sources window by clicking **Manage Data Sources** on the console Home page, selecting a data source, and clicking the **Edit** icon.
2. Click a data source in the list to highlight it.
3. Click on the **Remove** icon in the **Data Sources** tool bar.

   The Remove Data Source window appears.
4. Click **Remove** to delete the data source.

   If you choose not to delete the data source, you can click **Cancel** to exit the window.

The data source is removed and is no longer available to your users. All reports or charts using that data source no longer work.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/data-source-model-editor-cp/delete-a-data-source.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
