# Archive and Restore Experiments

If an experiment is no longer in use or has been completed, it cannot be deleted and can only be moved to the **Archived** section. To archive an experiment, first select the experiment you want to archive. You will be directed to the experiment details page.

If there are still active runs, move them to **Archived Runs** first and ensure that no active runs remain in the experiment. Then, click the **Archive** button in the top-right corner.
