# How to hard-delete (permanently delete) a Phase or Subphase on Project Schedule Modal?

Permanently delete an archived Phase or Subphase

If a Phase or Subphase contains Time Entries, it must first be archived before any further action. If the Time Entries within a Phase can be discarded, the Phase may then be permanently deleted.

1.  If archived Phases are hidden, click **Show X Archived** to display them.
