Delete a Scan

Required Scan Permissions: Can Configure

When you permanently delete a scan, you delete the scan configuration and scan results for all users the scan is shared with.

Note: The workflow for deleting a remediation scan differs from the workflow described in this procedure. For more information, see Delete a Remediation Scan.

Caution: After you delete a scan, you cannot recover the scan or any scan data associated with the scan. Delete only scans you are certain you no longer need to view or run.
