Technically, yes but make a few considerations first. Records, instruments, or data that are purposely deleted by the study team are difficult and expensive to recover. If you delete a record that you actually needed, you will be required to complete an intake survey, meet the Data Brokerage team, receive a statement of work that includes the total cost of the data recovery at a $75 per hour fee, and agree to the SOW before your data are recovered. Only test records or records created in error should be deleted from a REDCap production project.

In order to delete a record, you must have the user right to delete records. If you do not contact someone on the study who can give you that right. Once you have the right, go to the Record Status Dashboard , click on the record ID you wish to delete, click Choose Action for Record, Delete Record.
