# Deleting connections

You can view and manage all your existing connections in the *Connections* section of the Workspace. To manage a connection, click the three-dot menu on the connection card. This opens a menu with three options: Edit, Share, and Delete.

When you click *Delete*, a confirmation dialog appears. If the connection is being used by maps, workflows, tokens, etc., you can choose from two options:

* **Update to use another connection:** Automatically updates all dependent maps, workflows, tokens, etc. to use a different connection. The new connection must be of the same provider (i.e. Snowflake, Databricks, etc.).
* **Delete along with the connection:** Permanently removes the connection and all maps, workflows, tokens, etc. that use it. This action cannot be undone.

**Note:** You cannot delete shared connections. To delete a shared connection, first make it private to remove access for other users.
{% endhint %}
