# Deleting a Branch/Sub-Branch

You can delete a Branch Office or Sub-Branch, however, a Branch Office or Sub-Branch cannot be deleted if it’s in use. Branches are in use if they own any products or have been assigned to any Shipments (in a status other than Complete), Transactions, Invoices, etc. If you wish to delete a Branch or Sub-Branch that has been used, you will need to contact Support.

To remove a Branch or Sub-Branch, the user will need to ensure:

No Job Sites under a disused Branch ([you can move these to the remaining active branches](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/moving-a-job-site-from-one-branch-office-to-another-branch-office)).

No shipments in any status other than “Complete”.

No inventory or consumables at the disused Branch.

[All Out of Service items archived.](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/archiving-an-out-of-service-item)

All Transactions need to be in the Completed status.

Provide a [Back Up of the database](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/moving-a-database-to-a-new-server)
