Deleting a model

Models can be deleted from Bailo by users with the appropriate permissions. Deleting a model removes it from use and visibility across the platform.

Who can delete a model

You must have Delete permission on the model. If you do not have permission, the delete action will be blocked.

What happens when a model is deleted

Deleting a model removes all associated resources, including:

• Model card revisions
• Reviews and responses
• Releases (all versions)
• Docker images and tags
• Files and scans
• Inference records
• Access requests
• Webhooks
• Tokens referencing the model

When you delete a model:

• The model is removed from the Marketplace and search results
• All releases associated with the model are removed
• Files can no longer be downloaded
• Docker images can no longer be pulled or used
• Reviews, access requests, and other related activity are no longer accessible

From a user perspective, the model is gone and cannot be used.

How to delete a model

1. Open the model
2. Navigate to Settings
3. Scroll to the Deletion section
4. Click Delete Model

Confirming deletion

To prevent accidental deletion, you must confirm the action:

1. A confirmation dialog will appear
2. Type the exact model name into the confirmation field
3. Click Delete or press Enter once the name matches

If the name does not match exactly, the delete button remains disabled.

After deletion

• The model is immediately made inaccessible to all users
• You are redirected to the Bailo home page
• The action should be treated as permanent

About recovery

Model deletion is designed to be final.

In rare and exceptional circumstances, platform administrators may be able to restore a deleted model. This is not a standard service and users should only request recovery if absolutely required.

Before deleting a model, ensure it is no longer needed.

See Soft Deletion for more detail.
