I currently have 3 labels for my dataset but I want to delete 1 label which will not be using for the dataset. Thanks in advance!

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I understand we can do this in pre-processing. However my labels didn’t import correctly, and I would like to fix them permanently.

There isn’t a way to change or delete classes at the moment. If you just need it fixed for training, like @DuaneNielsen said, you can do it in pre-processing.

If you need to fix them permanently, the easiest way right now is to [remap or exclude classes](https://docs.roboflow.com/image-transformations/image-preprocessing#modify-classes), export the dataset with no augmentations, then import it back into a new project.

It’s a bit annoying, but that’s how you can do it if you really need to, at the moment.
