Hello,

I am trying to delete an old association label that is no longer in use, but I cant figure out how to do it. When I try to delete the label Hubspot tells me it is not possible as it is associated with objects already. However, when I try to look at what it is associated with it says that these objects are already deleted. Is there a smart sollution to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!

(PS. The provided image is in the norwegian language, but is an overview of the objects that are using the association label

Hi [@SondreBjørneng](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/843255),

What happens when you click on these links exactly?

This could be due to those records still being in the “bin”: [Restore&nbsp;deleted&nbsp;records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/restore-deleted-records)

You could try restoring them, removing the association label from them, trying again.

Alternatively, HubSpot support might be able to remove this for you – you could contact them in-app via chat or email.

Best regards!

Hi Karsten, when I click on the links I get directed to a page that no longer exists in Hubspot. The recycle bin is empty so that does not seem to be the problem.

I will try and contact hubspot support, thank you​😊
