### FAQs

<Card title>
  <Accordion title="How do I delete an attachment linked to a patient?">
    If a fax was auto-linked to a patient, it cannot be deleted from the patient’s Attachments page. Instead, unlink it from the Faxing page:

    * Go to **Utilities → Faxing → Inbound → Processed**.
    * Find the fax, edit it, and either reassign it to the correct patient or delete it there.
