# Delete assets that are missing from source
As a result of import or synchronization operations, assets that were present in your Collibra environment but are no longer available in the external system may have their status changed to **Missing from source** instead of being permanently deleted. After a review of those assets you may want to remove them from Collibra. You can use the **Delete missing assets** workflow to delete any assets from a selected domain that have the **Missing from source** status.
{% hint style="success" %}
Download the [**Delete missing assets**](https://cdn.collibra.com/developer/Delete%20missing%20assets-bar.zip) workflow.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
You can adjust the workflow to target any other status by updating the **statusId** process variable.
{% endhint %}
## Configuration
After you have uploaded the workflow to your environment, access the workflow configuration via 
**Settings** → **Workflows** → **Definitions** → **Delete Missing Assets**.
The workflow is meant to run at the community level. You must change the scope of the workflow to apply to **Community**.
Additionally, you may want to change the description, the start label or to allow only specific roles to be able to start this workflow.
## Walk-through
After you have enabled the workflow, go to a community containing domains with assets that are missing from source. To start the workflow, click **Actions** → **Delete Missing Assets**.
You must select one or more domains from the current community and acknowledge that deleting those assets is an irreversible process before you can click the **Delete missing assets** button to permanently delete those assets.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Depending on the number of assets that have the **Missing from source** status, the workflow may take some time and computing resources to complete.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://developer.collibra.com/tutorials/delete-assets-that-are-missing-from-source.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
