# Delete a Collection or Link

> This topic describes how you remove collections and links from Capella Analytics. 

## [](#remove-collection)Delete a Collection

You can delete any collection that you no longer need.

1. For a remote collection, [disconnect](connect-link.md#stop-stream) the collection's link to stop the data event stream.
2. In the UI, move your cursor over the name of the collection and then choose **Delete**.

You can also use an SQL++ for Capella Analytics statement to delete a collection. See [DROP Statements](../sqlpp/5%5Fddl%5Fdrop.md).
