Keep your fleet organized by removing retired, duplicate, or incorrect vehicle records, without losing valuable historical inspection data. Clean fleet management with complete audit history. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions** * Click “Vehicles” from the sidebar menu to view the fleet.
* Search for the vehicle using its **Registration Number**.
* Locate the vehicle and click the **three-dot (⋮) menu** in the **Action** column.
* Select **Delete** from the available options.
* A confirmation pop-up will appear explaining what happens when the vehicle is deleted. Review the information.
* Click the **Delete** button to confirm the deletion.
* Once deleted, the vehicle will no longer appear in the active fleet. You can find it under the **Retired** tab, next to the **Inactive** tab.
