# Delete a Camera

You need to remove a camera from your account when transferring it to a different organization or if it is no longer needed to prevent licensing issues. Document the serial number of the camera before deleting it if you need to re-add it to your organization.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleting a camera from Verkada Command erases all recorded footage (on device and in cloud backup) and **cannot** be recovered. Archives taken from that camera will be preserved.
