# Delete emails from a queue

In **8x8 Contact Center**, you may be able to pull email interactions from an email queue, but not delete them. Agents can delete emails only if their contact center administrator has configured their 8x8 Agent Workspace account to allow deleting pending email interactions from a queue. If your 8x8 Agent Workspace account does not have delete permissions, you are not able to see the **Delete** button or the check boxes to select emails.

Deleting a pulled email interaction from an email queue:

- Permanently deletes the interaction from the queue.
- Does not delete the customer record associated with the email from the **Local CRM**.

**To permanently delete email interactions from an email queue:**

1. In **8x8 Agent Workspace**, set your status to **Working Offline**. If your status is Available, **8x8 Agent Workspace** may offer you a new interaction before you can complete pulling email interactions from an email queue.
2. Go to **My assigned queue** in the **Control Panel**.
3. Click **Pull email** or click on the number of emails. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/deleted-queued-emails.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T22%3A56%3A32Z&se=2026-11-03T23%3A56%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=w%2B6A%2BMqTQpGp%2FscdkZp0XYYDPBeLrnWjgl%2FWjqHiR8I%3D)

  - To remove individual email interactions from the queue, select one or more email messages.
  - To remove all email interactions in the list, select the check box in the column heading.
5. Click **Delete**. **8x8 Agent Workspace** displays a delete confirmation dialog. Click **OK** to permanently remove the selected email interactions from the queue.
