# Delete a product swap automation

Permanently deletes a product swap automation configuration. Once deleted, the swap will no longer be applied to any subscription orders. Existing subscriptions that have already had products swapped are not affected.

Deletion Behavior:
- Permanently removes the swap automation
- Does not reverse past swaps that have already occurred
- Future orders will not have this swap applied
- Cannot be undone - swap configuration must be recreated if needed

Impact on Subscriptions:
- Active Subscriptions: Will continue with current products (no automatic reversion)
- Future Orders: Swap will not be applied
- Past Orders: Already swapped products remain unchanged
- Queued Swaps: Pending swaps for this automation are cancelled

When to Delete:
- Discontinuing a seasonal product rotation
- Removing outdated swap rules
- Cleaning up test or experimental swaps
- Product lines being discontinued
- Correcting misconfigured swaps

Important Notes:
- This operation is permanent and cannot be undone
- Consider deactivating instead of deleting if you might reuse the configuration
- Activity logs for past swaps are retained
- Customers are not automatically notified of swap deletion

Best Practices:
- Review affected subscriptions before deletion
- Consider communicating changes to affected customers
- Export swap configuration if you might need it later
- Use deactivation for temporary pauses instead of deletion
