# Delete Persistent Volume Claims

**Delete Persistent Volume Claim (PVC)** is used to permanently remove a Persistent Volume Claim from the Kubernetes cluster. This feature is typically used when the storage request is no longer needed by applications or workloads, helping to free up and manage storage resources more efficiently.

Click the **Delete** icon on the Persistent Volume Claim that you want to remove.
