# Delete content in the Django dashboard

```{note}
Deleting content using the Django dashboard isn't recommended. Use an object's [moderation page](../../moderator/content/delete.md) where possible.
```

You can delete content from your pod in the Django dashboard. The dashboard gives you access to all data associated with the content.

```{warning}
Deleting content removes it from associated playlists, channels, libraries, and favorites lists.
