# Archive or delete a word

> Understand reversible archiving and deletion.

Archive a word when you want to keep it but remove it from active practice, or delete it when you no longer want it in your library.

**1. Open Collections or your saved-word view and find the word**

**2. Open the word's actions or detail view**

**3. Choose Archive to keep the word in your account while removing it from active word lists and normal practice.**

**4. To remove it permanently, choose Delete and confirm the prompt. Deleting removes the saved word from your library.**

**5. If you archived the word, use the Archived filter to find it later and choose the archive control again to restore it.**

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Archive versus delete**
>
> Archiving is reversible and preserves the word for later. Deleting is intended to remove the saved library entry; make sure you want to remove it before confirming.
