# How do I delete a credit note that has already been closed?

A closed credit note implies that the amount due to the customer has been paid, either through a [direct refund](https://www.zoho.com/books/help/credit-note/refund-credits.html) or by [applying the credits to an invoice](https://www.zoho.com/books/help/credit-note/apply-credits.html). To delete a credit note, you need to cancel the payment associated with it.  
Here’s how you do it:

*   Scroll down to the _Sales_ module from the left sidebar and click **Credit Notes**.
*   Select the respective credit note.
*   To remove the credits applied to an invoice, navigate to the **Invoices Credited** tab.
*   Now, click the **Delete** icon to remove the credits applied to the invoice.
*   To undo a refund created for a credit note, click the **Refund History** tab and click the **Delete** icon.

This will convert the credit note back to Open status. Now you can delete the credit note by clicking the **More** icon and then, **Delete**.
