• Upload the wrong one.
• Uploaded an update and want to remove the previous version.
• Decide that you no longer want your GEDCOM file to be part of the Pedigree Resource File.
<ref>https://familysearch.org/ask/salesforce/viewArticle?urlname=Deleting-a-GEDCOM-File-That-You-Submitted-to-the-Pedigree-Resource-File&lang=en </ref>

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
3. Click Submit Tree.
4. If you are not already signed in, click Sign In or Register Here. If you are a registered user of FamilySearch.org, sign in. If you are not yet a registered user, please register for an account.

The Pedigree Resource File has existed for many years, and the data has been published in several ways. If you submitted this GEDCOM file several years ago, you should be aware of the following:
• The Pedigree Resource File has been published on compact discs for more than a decade. If this file is on one of these compact discs, it is deleted from the online version of the Pedigree Resource File. It remains on the compact discs.
• Some information from the Pedigree Resource File was used to create the database that is currently used by the new.familysearch.org (which is Read Only) and FamilySearch Family Tree websites. This data is stored separately from the official Pedigree Resource File, which people can search from the Family Tree section of FamilySearch.org. If you delete a GEDCOM file, it is deleted from the online Pedigree Resource File. It is not deleted from new.familysearch.org or the FamilySearch Family Tree.
