# Remove a data provider

> Unregister a data provider and revoke its access to every source.

    On the **Data providers** tab, press the menu on the provider and choose **Delete**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm by typing the provider name">

    Type the provider name to confirm. It has to match exactly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Press Yes, delete provider">
    The provider is unregistered immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deleting a provider revokes its credentials immediately. Any integration using its ID and secret stops being able to onboard data, and there is no way to restore the provider or its secret — a replacement gets a new ID and a new secret, which every integration then has to be updated with.
</Warning>

## Before you delete

Check what the provider feeds. Open each source it lists and look at the **Providers** chip row — if this is the only provider on a source, nothing will be writing to that source after the deletion. Data already onboarded stays; it just stops being updated.

<Info>
  To take away access to one source without unregistering the provider, remove that source from **Allowed Sources** instead — see [Edit a data provider](/guides/studio/sources/edit-a-data-provider).
