## Close a merge request
If you decide to permanently stop work on a merge request,
GitLab recommends you close the merge request rather than
[delete it](#delete-a-merge-request). Users with
Developer, Maintainer, or Owner [roles](../../permissions.md) in a project
can close merge requests in the project:
1. Go to the merge request you want to close.
1. Scroll to the comment box at the bottom of the page.
1. Following the comment box, select **Close merge request**.
GitLab closes the merge request, but preserves records of the merge request,
its comments, and any associated pipelines.
### Delete a merge request
GitLab recommends you close, rather than delete, merge requests.
WARNING:
You cannot undo the deletion of a merge request.
To delete a merge request:
1. Sign in to GitLab as a user with the project Owner [role](../../permissions.md).
Only users with this role can delete merge requests in a project.
1. Go to the merge request you want to delete, and select **Edit**.
1. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and select **Delete merge request**.
