## Delete modules

If you have problems with a module, or you need to roll back to a previous version of a module, you can delete it from your Automation account. You can't delete the original versions of the [default modules](#default-modules) that are imported when you create an Automation account. If the module to delete is a newer version of one of the [default modules](#default-modules), it rolls back to the version that was installed with your Automation account. Otherwise, any module you delete from your Automation account is removed.
