# Delete Published Node - Cannot

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Published Nodes can never be deleted.**

Makes sure you have all your copyrights etc. in order before publishing. This is super important, as a Node cannot be deleted.

You may delete an Unpublished Node.

We repeat: ***Published***** Nodes can NEVER be deleted.**
