+# Export or delete settings in the Azure portal
+You can export and delete the following settings from the Azure portal settings menu:
+* Azure portal private dashboards
+* User settings like favorite subscriptions or directories, and last logged in directory
+* Themes and customizations
+
+We strongly recommend that you export and review your settings before you delete them. It can be time consuming to rebuild the dashboards and re-add your customizations.
+
+[!INCLUDE [GDPR-related guidance](../../includes/gdpr-intro-sentence.md)]
+
+**Export or delete your portal settings**
+
+1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](http://portal.azure.com).
+2. On the top right of the portal, select **Settings**.

+
+      | Setting | Description |

+      | **Export all settings** | Creates a .json file that contains your user settings like your dashboard theme.|
+      | **Delete all settings and private dashboards** | Deletes all links to private dashboards and other user customizations you've made to the portal dashboard. |
