### Delete delegation ### {#deleting-delegation}

If there is a delegatee you want to delete, you should delete:

1. The targets only the delegatee is responsible for.
2. The delegatee's targets metadata.
3. The delegation off any delegator's targets metadata.

But keep the snapshot metadata about (2) around until timestamp/snapshot needs to be reset (e.g., due to a fast-forward attack, as described in Section [5.3.11][[#update-root]] of the spec).

(3) can safely be updated in the snapshot(as described in Section [6.3.2][[#update-snapshot-metadata]] of the spec) metadata so long as it doesn't rollback itself.
