In using the Content Strategy tool, I have been unable to figure out how to optimize a content cluster without completely using all eight plus subtopics. Does anyone know how to delete subtopics from content clusters, if this is even possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi [@ssmith\_cmc](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/18251)

To delete a subtopic from a cluster, select the subtopic and click Delete in the bottom right of the screen. The GUI of the tool seems to have been updated recently so I don’t know if this has always been there or not.

Hope this helps.
