# Removing Submissions (RIM)

You may occasionally upload incomplete submissions or submissions with mistakes. When you remove a submission, Vault deletes any sections created in the archive. The documents no longer appear in the <a href="/en/gr/450731/">**Viewer**</a> tab, and users will not be able to access them using cross-document navigation. Vault also clears the _Applications_ and _Submissions_ document field values, which qualifies the document for the <a href="/en/gr/28082/#submissions-archive-delete-orphaned-files-job">Submissions Archive Delete Orphaned Files job</a>.

Vault deletes documents from removed submissions based on the status of Submissions Archive Delete Orphaned Files job. If the job is active, Vault deletes Submissions Archive documents that are without Application and Submission document field values, based on the configured schedule. If the job is inactive, Vault will not delete the Submissions Archive documents. When an ICH eCTD 4.0-based submission is removed from the Submission Archive, Vault also deletes the _Application eCTD Keyword_ records associated with that Submission.

## How to Remove Submissions {#removing-submissions}

To remove a submission, navigate to the individual _Submission_ record and select **Remove** from the **Actions** menu. You do not need to wait for Vault to finish removing a submission before removing a second.
