# Delete Before Publication

{% hint style="danger" %}
Components and Nodes that are deleted **after publishing** a Node **will always remain publicly available** in those previous versions of the Node. 
{% endhint %}

In contrast to AFTER publication, you can delete components and Nodes before publication.
