### Deactivate a feed

Deactivating a feed is a better option than deleting it if you might need the feed again in the future. Deleting a feed will permanently remove the feed from your project[.](https://helpcenter.channable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020407659-How-do-I-delete-an-export-feed-)&#x20;
