# Clone and Delete Experiments

Cloning copies a configuration so you can run a follow-up test without rebuilding it. Deleting removes an experiment and everything it collected.

## Clone an Experiment

Clone from the row menu on the Experiments list, or from the **Clone** button on the experiment's own screen.

The clone opens as a new **Draft** with every setting copied — details, metrics, target audience, duration, variants, and experience mappings. Edit what you need, then save or start it.

| Copied                          | Not copied                    |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| All configuration               | Collected metrics and results |
| Variants and traffic allocation | Start and end dates           |
| Experience mappings             | Status                        |

Experro confirms with "Experiment cloned successfully."

<Tip>
  Cloning is the fastest way to run a variation on a test you have already built — a second CTA wording, or the same test on another channel.
</Tip>

## Delete an Experiment

Delete from the row menu, or from the **Delete** button on the experiment's screen. The confirmation depends on the status.

**Published experiments** warn that configurations, variants, and collected metrics will be removed, and offer **Pause Experiment** as an alternative alongside **Cancel** and **Delete**.

**Scheduled experiments** name the scheduled start date and warn that deleting cancels the run.

**Draft and completed experiments** get a straightforward confirmation.

## Key Considerations

* Published and paused experiments cannot be deleted while running. Pause or end them first.
* Cloned experiments can share a name with the original. Names are not required to be unique.

<Warning>
  Deletion is permanent. Configurations, variants, and every metric collected are removed, and there is no undo.
</Warning>
