What does it mean when you can't delete an Item or Contact

Once an Item or Contact has been part of a Reservation and/or Check-out in Cheqroom, they become part of the history data of your Account.ย 

That is why you can't delete them anymore, and instead, you will have to Retire (Item) or Archive (Contact) them.ย 

*Note: When an Item is retired, it no longer counts towards your account quota.
