# Burning
There may be some cases when you decide to burn your collection and its NFTs. This is possible to do on KodaDot, and it's very simple.
### Before you start, be aware
If you want to burn the collection, you must first burn all NFTs minted in this collection. It needs to be empty. If someone bought one of those NFTs, you will not be able to burn it because you are not the owner of the NFT. In this case, you cannot burn the collection.
Let's first look at burning an NFT and then at burning a collection.
## Burning NFT 🔥
**Step 1:** Open an NFT you want to burn. You can find NFTs you own/created in your profile.
**Step 2:** Click on the three dots in the right corner and click on Burn
**Step 3:** Sign the transaction. Sign the transaction and wait till the page finishes loading.
## Burning Collection 🔥
To burn your collection, all NFTs that were minted in it must be burned first.
**Step 1:** Open the collection you want to burn. You can find it if you go to your profile and click on Collections. Select the correct chain and choose which collection you want to burn.
**Step 2:** Delete the collection. On the top right side of the page, click on three dots and select Delete. Sign the transaction and wait till it finishes loading.
On the picture you can see that collection is empty (Whoops, Couldn't find anything...)
Any tokens that you use as deposits will automatically return to your wallet.
***
Both burning an NFT and burning a collection are irreversible actions. So don't do this if you are not sure about it!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://hello.kodadot.xyz/tutorial/burning.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
