Delete a report just submitted

Immediately after submission, the confirmation dialog offers a deletion route for that report. Confirm it only if you want the report removed.

Goal

Remove a report sent by mistake through the deletion route in its confirmation dialog.

Before you start

  • The report was just submitted and its confirmation dialog is still open.

Steps

  1. Check the confirmation

    Check the displayed «Report code» and summary so you act on the correct report.

  2. Open the deletion route

    Use the deletion link in the confirmation dialog. Read the question before proceeding.

    Confirmation with report code, keep-link hint, «Link sichern» button and the deletion link.
    Example view with test data: under the confirmation's report code (shown as «Meldungs-Code»), the keep-link hint and the «Link sichern» (save link) button appear, followed by the «Meldung löschen lassen» (request deletion) link. The title and appearance can differ by organisation.

  3. Confirm deletion

    Confirm only if the report should be removed. Wait for the confirmation in the dialog.

    Deletion confirmation dialog with delete and cancel buttons.
    Example view with test data: the «Meldung löschen lassen?» (request deletion?) dialog removes the description, photos and details once «Löschen» (delete) is confirmed; «Abbrechen» (cancel) stops the action.

Check the result

After successful deletion, the dialog confirms it and removes the receipt from this browser's local list.

If something goes wrong

Deletion reports an error.
Try again while the dialog remains open. If the error persists, contact the operating organisation with the «Report code».
The confirmation dialog has already been closed.
Open the link you saved when submitting or the link from a status email: the report page it opens also offers a deletion option. Without one of these links, contact the operating organisation with the «Report code».

Common questions

Does the local receipt disappear?

After successful deletion, the browser removes the item from its local report list.

Can someone else delete my report with only its «Report code»?

The direct deletion route also uses an identifier held by the device that sent it, or the signed link you saved or received by status email. Keep that link to yourself for this reason.
