# Deleting a package

## Introduction

A package can be deleted, provided that it does not contain any `enabled` flows. So:

* If a package is [created](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/creating-a-package.md) but never deployed, the package can be deleted.
* If a package has been [deployed](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/managing-packages/deploying-a-package.md) but all associated flow deployments have been [disabled](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environment-flow-deployments/disabling-or-enabling-a-process-flow-deployment-for-a-virtual-environment.md) in the deployed virtual environments, the package can be deleted.

If you need to change the flows associated with a deployed package, you should [create a new package](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/virtual-environment-packages/creating-a-package.md).
