# Archive a Release

Since an event received from a deleted release automatically recreates it, Sentry has an option to hide, or archive, releases. Archiving can also be useful if you're no longer interested in viewing a release or if you've accidentally created a release you no longer want to track.

## [Using Sentry.io](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/usage/archive-release.md#using-sentryio)

Archiving in [sentry.io](https://sentry.io) removes the release from the list of releases you can select to view:

Archived releases won't show up in **Releases** unless you change the filter to display them:

## [Using the CLI](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/usage/archive-release.md#using-the-cli)

In the CLI, run this command to archive a release:

```bash
sentry-cli releases archive VERSION
```
