    First, items with a quantity in stock can't be deleted. In your screenshot, the item shows a stock quantity of 6. You could use an item journal to make a negative adjustment of 6 to bring the quantity to zero.

    Second, items can typically only be deleted if they have ledger entries in closed fiscal years. This means you’ll need to close the fiscal year of all its entries before deletion is allowed.

    Personally, I don’t recommend deleting items with previous ledger entries. Instead, consider adding 'ZZZ' in front of the item number to push it to the bottom of the item list.

    Also, a developer can create a custom processing report to delete items, or even delete it from the table since this is possible in NAV, but again I would not recommend this.

    Hi, Totally agree with Valentin.
    In addition, if you don't have a developer but want to delete the data, you can delete it directly from SQL, just find the table and data. But please note that this is not recommended.
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.

    Could you provide more clarity on why you want to delete the items? What do you mean by stuck in the system? Knowing the full picture, experts would be able to offer more tailored solutions.
