Delete a Request

Users with the required Permissions can delete Requests from the FOIAXpress database. Once you delete a Request, all details related to the Request are deleted from the database and will no longer be available to view or perform actions.

Users deleting requests will always be prompted with a warning that the request will be permanently deleted, and must choose to proceed prior to the request being deleted.

If you have the "Special Delete" Permission assigned, you can delete Requests regardless of their Request status.
