Depending on the situation, if an Opportunity isn't going to work out or close, you may want to delete or archive the Opportunity. There are two options to consider here.

Part 1: You can update the Opportunity status if it isn't going to work out, to either "lost" or "abandoned".

Step 1: Click into the Opportunity and scroll to the bottom.

Step 2: Under the "Status" dropdown, change the status appropriately.

Step 3: Hit Save to update your changes.

Part 2: can delete an Opportunity to remove it from the list entirely.

Step 1: Click into the Opportunity and scroll to the bottom.

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and click the red "Delete" button. This will completely delete the Opportunity.
