# Delete changelists

To delete a pending changelist, you must first remove all files and jobs associated with it and then issue the `p4 change -d changenum` command. Related operations include the following:

- To move files to another changelist, issue the `p4 reopen -c changenum` command.
- To remove files from the changelist and discard any changes, issue the `p4 revert -c changenum` command.

Changelists that have already been submitted can be deleted only by a P4 Server administrator. See Deleting changelists and editing changelist descriptions in the P4 Server Administration Documentation.
