# Revoke credential

## Why Credentials Can’t Be Deleted

Due to the nature of credentials, they cannot be deleted.\
To invalidate a specific credential for a user, you must revoke it.

Once revoked:

* The credential will no longer appear in the List Credentials endpoint.
* It will be excluded from all fit score calculations.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**You can only revoke credentials that your application originally assigned to the user**. \
Credentials issued by other apps or agents cannot be revoked by you.
{% endhint %}
