How to Delete A Person

There may be times when you need to permanently remove a person from your Elvanto database—for example, due to duplicate records or outdated profiles. This guide outlines the steps to safely delete a person from your system.

⚠️ Important: Deleting a person is permanent and cannot be undone. If you may need the person's information in the future, consider archiving their profile instead.

Steps to Delete a Person in Elvanto

1. Log into Elvanto as a Super Admin or with the appropriate People permissions.
2. Navigate to the People section and search for the individual you want to delete.
3. Click on the person's name to open their profile.
4. In the Actions panel on the left side of the profile, click Delete.
5. A confirmation screen will appear.
6. Toggle the confirmation checkbox to confirm you understand this action is permanent.
7. Click Confirm to complete the deletion.

Alternative: Archiving Instead of Deleting

1. If you’re unsure whether to remove someone permanently, consider archiving the profile instead:
2. From the profile, click Edit.
3. Change the status to Archived.
4. Click Save.

This keeps the person's data in your system without including them in reports or active roles.
