A closed credit note implies that the amount due to the customer has been paid, either through a direct refund or by applying the credits to an invoice. To delete this credit note, you need to first delete the refund and the credits applied to invoices.

To do this:

*   Expand the **Returns** module on the sidebar.
*   Go to **Credit Notes**.
*   Sort through the **Closed** credit notes and open the concerned one.
*   Go to the **Refunds History** tab.
*   Click the ![Menu icon](/inventory/help/images/icons/hamburger-icon.png) icon and click **Delete**. Repeate till all refunds are deleted.

*   Likewise, go to the **Invoices Credited** tab and click the **trash** icon against all the invoices credited for the credit note.
*   Now, click **More** > **Delete** to delete this credit note permanently.
