### **What is Connection Deletion?**

Deleting a connection **removes it permanently** from Paradime.

* This is useful for **cleaning up unused or outdated connections**.
* If a connection is still in use, it **must be replaced or reassigned** before deletion.

### **How to Delete a Connection**

1. **Go to** **Settings > Connections**.
2. **Find the connection** you want to delete (e.g., Code IDE, Scheduler, etc.).
3. **Click** the **View** button.
4. **Click** the **More (`...`)** button in the connection settings menu.
5. **Select** **"Delete Connection"**.
6. **Confirm deletion** when prompted.

**Implications of Deleting a Connection**

* **Scheduler Environment Restriction**:
  * If **multiple connections** exist in the **Scheduler Environment**, the default connection **can only be deleted if it is the last remaining connection**.
* **Permanent Removal**: Deleted connections **cannot be recovered**—ensure they are no longer needed before deletion.
