# Remove Resource from Container

:lock: Container.**RemoveResource**

## Overview

This operation removes a **Resource** from a **Container**. It is used when a **Resource** no longer needs to be grouped or tracked as part of a **Container**.

## Setup

No specific setup is needed, but the **Resource** and the **Container** must meet the all preconditions.

## Preconditions

For the **Container**:

- The Universal State is active, not a template or on hold.
- The System State is available.
- Has the **Resource** currently associated to it.
- The Position Unit Type is set to **Resource**.

!!! warning
    If the Container is docked with another Resource as a Consumable Feed (`ResourceAssociationType = DockedConsumable FeedContainer`), this operation will also remove the Resource as a Consumable Feed.

## Sequence of Steps

1. Navigate to the **Resource** that needs to be removed and ensure it meets the preconditions listed above.
2. On the top ribbon, select **Remove Container**.
3. Verify if the information presented corresponds to the **Container** you want to remove the **Resource** from.
4. Optionally, enter a comment.
5. Press **Remove** to complete the operation.

!!! note
    For bulk operations, all Resources being removed must belong to the same Container.
