# Removing a service connector

## Introduction

If a connector is not being used in any services and you are an **admin** user, you can remove it from the connector list.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can't delete a connector if it's currently defined as a source or destination in any services, even if those services are inactive. In this scenario, you should [remove the services](/product-documentation/patchworks-services/working-with-services/removing-a-service.md) in question first, then come back to remove the connector.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
