# Edit and Delete Recipes in Foryoueats

> Update an existing recipe's details or remove it from your library. Edit ingredients, steps, tags, and timing, or delete recipes you no longer need.

Recipes in your library aren't set in stone. You can reopen any recipe to fix a typo, adjust ingredients, or add tags — and remove recipes you no longer want to keep. Both options live in the same place: the **ellipses (⋯) menu** at the top right of the recipe image.

## Edit a recipe

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the recipe">
    Go to the recipe page for the recipe you want to edit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the options menu">
    Tap the ellipses (**⋯**) at the top right of the recipe image to open the recipe options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap Edit">
    Select **Edit** to open the recipe in the editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your changes">
    Update any field — name, description, ingredients, steps, timing, servings, or tags. Each field works the same way as when you first created the recipe.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    Tap **Save** to update the recipe in your library.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Delete a recipe

<Steps>

  </Step>

<Warning>
  Deleting a recipe is permanent — it can't be undone. If you might want the recipe later, consider keeping it instead.
