Deleting a Quest

How to safely delete a quest with impact review and confirmation.

Quest deletion uses a soft-delete approach — deleted quests are marked as removed but their data is preserved in the database for a grace period. This ensures accidental deletions can be recovered.

How to Delete a Quest

1. Navigate to the Quests dashboard
2. Find the quest you want to delete
3. Click the ⋯ (more) menu on the quest card
4. Select Delete Quest

Impact Preview

Before confirming deletion, NeuroFusion shows an impact summary so you understand exactly what will be affected:

Impact Area	What’s Shown
Participants	Number of users who have joined this quest
Datasets	Total number of submitted responses and experiment data
Media files	Count of uploaded files, grouped by type (images, audio, video)

Confirmation

• If the quest has no data (no participants, no datasets), you can delete it with a single click
• If the quest has data, you must type the quest title to confirm deletion — this prevents accidental data loss

Deleted quests are soft-deleted — they are hidden from the dashboard but their data is preserved. Contact support at [e-mail] if you need to recover a deleted quest.

Who Can Delete a Quest

Only the quest creator or an organization member with quest.delete permission can delete a quest. Collaborators without this permission will not see the delete option.

What Happens After Deletion

• The quest is removed from the dashboard and public listings
• Participants can no longer submit data to the quest
• Existing datasets and responses are preserved (soft-delete)
• The deletion is recorded in the Data Audit Trail if enabled for your organization
