# Delete Node

{% hint style="info" %}
Please Note: Deleted Nodes will be removed from all the channels the Organization is part of and cannot be retrieved.
{% endhint %}

### Instances where deletion of a Node is not possible:

1. It is necessary to have at least one Peer Node for each participating Organization within a Network.
2. A channel must have a minimum of one Orderer, and if an Orderer is associated with multiple channels, it can only be removed if there are alternative Orderer nodes available for all channels.

### Delete a Node:

* Navigate to the Network where the Nodes are present
* Select Nodes in the Sidebar
* Select the Node from the Node listing
* In the Node Overview page, click on Delete to delete the Node

{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended to have an odd number of orderer nodes on the network as it ensures that the Network remains operational even in the presence of node failures.\
