Important Starting in Spring ’22, WDC isn’t available to new Salesforce customers. For existing customers, WDC features and records from Badges, Skills, and Thanks aren’t affected and will remain available in the application beyond Spring ’22. WDC Goals, Coaching, Feedback, Performance, and Rewards features won’t appear in the application anymore, and records created previously will no longer be accessible.

Note On May 1, 2020, we rebranded this suite. It's now called WDC.

1. From your personal settings, enter Advanced User Details in the Quick Find box, then select **Advanced User Details**. No results? Enter Personal Information in the Quick Find box, then select **Personal Information**.
2. In the User Skills section, click **Del** next to the skill you want to remove.
3. Click **OK**.

The skill is no longer associated with you, but it’s not deleted. Only skill owners with the proper permissions and users with “Modify All Data” can delete skills.

You can also remove skills on Chatter profile pages.
