# Authorised Delete The "Authorised Delete" feature permits users to ask for the removal of an item (like an email) from the archive. However, this is a significant and irreversible action that necessitates the approval of the data guardian before any steps can be taken. If you'd like to learn more about data guardians, you can find additional information at the [provided link](/managing-users/creating-data-guardian-user-accounts.md). To initiate an authorised deletion, please refer to the following article. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.cryoserver.com/authorised-delete.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
