If you have set up an approval workflow, the deletion process will go through this workflow before the actual deletion occurs. You can also choose to perform a soft delete or permanently delete the data, as explained in [this section](https://docs.editable.io/working-with-editable/table-operations-insert-update-delete/pages/qyBTToXOkqBpuKyKty1u#id-3.-delete).

{% hint style="info" %}
You can establish access control to define who can delete rows in the table. For configuration instructions, please refer to [this section](https://docs.editable.io/working-with-editable/table-operations-insert-update-delete/pages/qyBTToXOkqBpuKyKty1u#id-3.-delete).
