## What happens after deleting a journey?

After a journey is deleted, the automation is permanently removed from your workspace and can no longer be triggered by any customer events. The system completely stops tracking background actions for this workflow, and your dashboard list instantly updates to clear out the deleted item.

## Troubleshooting

### Delete icon is not working

The delete is greyed out. This happens because the **journey is currently active**. You must **pause the journey first** before the system allows you to delete it.

### Journey stays on the list

The journey stays in your list after you click the delete icon. This is usually caused by a **temporary browser cache lag**. You need to **refresh your browser window** to update the dashboard view.
