> How to delete a job, what happens to the invoices, quotes and certificates attached to it, and when Mucka won't let you.

Booked something twice, or put a job in for the wrong customer? Delete it. It's the small bin icon in the bottom-left of the job's edit screen.

## Where to find it

Open the job, tap the pencil to go into edit mode, and the bin sits to the left of **Cancel** and **Save**. That's the same place on your phone, on the Jobs list and on the schedule.

You'll only see it if your role can delete jobs. Owners and managers can by default; if an engineer needs to, that's a permission you switch on in Settings.

## What happens to everything attached

Mucka tells you before you commit. If the job has anything on it, the confirmation names it:

> *This job has 1 invoice and 1 certificate attached. Deleting unlinks them, they stay on file but won't show this job. Delete anyway?*

**Nothing attached is deleted.** Invoices, quotes, work orders and certificates all survive — they simply stop pointing at a job that no longer exists. You'll still find them in their own lists, and an invoice you've already sent is still owed and still chaseable.

That matters most for certificates. A gas or oil certificate is a legal document and deleting the job never destroys it, but it will no longer show against a job, so it's worth being sure before you go ahead.

## When Mucka won't let you

- **The job is in progress.** Someone's on site. Complete it or cancel it first, then delete.
- **The job came from JobLogic.** Anything mirrored from JobLogic is read-only here — delete it in JobLogic and the change syncs back.

## Common gotchas

- **There's no undo.** The job itself is gone for good. If you only want it off the board, cancel it instead — that takes it off your diary and out of your connected calendar while keeping it on the customer's record. See [Cancel a job](/help/schedule/cancel-a-job).
- **Deleting one of a recurring series deletes that one occurrence**, not the series.
- **The customer isn't told.** Deleting is a tidy-up on your side. If they're expecting you, message them as well.
- **Anyone assigned gets a cancellation notification** on their phone, so they stop planning around it.
