# Delete a Personal Access Token

Delete a token when a tool is done with it, when you rotate tokens, or when you think it has leaked.
Deleting a token revokes only that token. Your password, your other tokens, and your signed-in sessions stay
as they are.

## Before you begin

You need a role with Delete permission on **Personal Access Tokens** in the project.

Check what uses the token first. After you delete it, every script, tool, or pipeline that uses it loses
access, and the deletion is permanent. You can create a new token for the same purpose.

## Delete the token

1. In TIR, open the project that holds the token. In the side menu, under **PLATFORM SERVICES**, select
   **Personal Access Tokens**.
2. In the token's row, open the delete action in **Actions**.
3. In the **Delete Token** dialog, select **Delete**.

The token disappears from the list, and TIR refuses every call made with it from then on.

You can delete only tokens you created, in the project you have open. If the delete fails, you see "Unable
to delete token." and the token stays in the list. Try again, and see
[Troubleshooting Personal Access Tokens](/tir/personal-access-tokens/troubleshooting/personal-access-tokens/) if it
keeps failing.

To rotate a token, [create a new one](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/create-a-personal-access-token/) under a new
name, since the old name stays taken. Move everything that uses the old token to the new one, then delete
the old token.
