# Requesting a Deletion

### 1.  Search your Archive

* Open your Cryoserver archive, as a Privileged & Delete User and initiate a search on archive.cryoserver.online or eu.cryoserver.online. Or head to your **Search History** tab and use a saved or previously run search.
* Locate Specific Emails emails and pinpoint the ones you wish to delete.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're not ready to request deletion immediately, save your search. This saved search will appear under the **Search History** tab, allowing you to easily retrieve it later.
{% endhint %}

### 2. Request a Deletion
