161161### Archive an environment
162162
163To archive one of your own environments, open it for editing, select **Archive environment**, and confirm. If the environment is [shared with your organization](#organization-shared-environments), an Owner archives it from the **Cloud environments** page in [admin settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings) instead, so ask an Owner unless you are one. You can't delete an environment, only archive it.

170170* No new session can start in an archived environment, on any surface:
171171 * **Saved CLI default**: if the environment was your saved [CLI default](#select-an-environment-from-the-cli), Claude Code starts CLI cloud sessions in the Anthropic-hosted environment when your list has one. Otherwise, it starts them in the first environment in your list that isn't a [Remote Control bridge environment](#the-default-environment).
172172 * **Configured explicitly**: anything configured with the environment explicitly, such as a [cloud scheduled task](/docs/en/routines#environments-and-network-access), can't start new sessions in it. Point it at another environment.

174When you no longer need an Anthropic-hosted environment, archive it. Neither the environment dialog nor the **Cloud environments** admin page has an option to delete an Anthropic-hosted environment. If the environment is [self-hosted](/docs/en/self-hosted-environments), an Owner can delete it from the **Cloud environments** page in admin settings. If you aren't an Owner, ask one to delete it.
