# How to remove users from a team or sub-team?

To **remove users from a team or sub-team** in Hivel, follow these steps:

#### Steps to Remove Users:

1. **Navigate to the Teams page**: Go to the Teams page and select the particular team from which you want to remove users.
2. **Select the Users to Remove**: Find and select all the users that you wish to remove from the team.
3. **Click on the "Delete" Icon**: On the right corner of the user selection list, click on the **"Delete"** icon to remove the users from the team.

**Important**: If you **remove a user from the parent team**, they will also be removed from **all sub-teams** under that parent team.

If a user is **only removed from a sub-team**, they will **remain part of the parent team**. This is by design, as a user can be part of the larger parent team even if not part of its sub-teams.
{% endhint %}

**Another Note**: Removing users from a team does not delete their data. If the user becomes part of another team later, their data will still be available and visible when that new team is selected.

To permanently remove an user from the platform, use the [<mark style="color:purple;">archive functionality</mark>](/set-up/users/how-to-archive-users.md).
