# Delete a capacity group

Delete a Capacity group when it is no longer needed and DID numbers should no longer use its shared or metered channels.

## Before you begin

- Unassign all DID numbers from the Capacity group before deleting it. See [Unassign DID numbers from a Capacity group](../../my-numbers/how-to-guides/unassign-dids-from-capacity-group.html).
- Review capacity usage before removing the group. See [View capacity usage](../view-capacity-usage.html#capacity-view-usage).
- Review whether the group has assigned shared channels or metered channels. For group fields, limits, and behavior, see [Capacity groups](../capacity-groups.html#capacity-groups).
- If you need to reduce channel allocation before deletion, see [Manage shared channels](manage-shared-channels.html) or [Manage metered channels](manage-metered-channels.html).

## Step 1: Locate the capacity group

1. In the DIDWW User Panel, go to **Phone Numbers > Capacity**.
2. Find the Capacity group you want to delete.
