# Deleting Views

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Deleting a view from the VMS does not delete directories or files from the file system. To delete the view's underlying directory, use the `/folders/delete_folder/` endpoint of the VAST REST API.

To delete a view:

- In VAST Web UI:

  1. From the left navigation menu, select Element Store and then Views.
  2. Open the Actions menu for the view you want to delete, and select Remove.
  3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
