# How to Exit Validator(s)
A step-by-step guide to exit and remove validator(s) from the dashboard.
## Exit Validator(s)
> ❗️ Important Note
>
> This option is only available for **Blockdaemon-managed validators**. If you're unable to find a specific validator, please ensure the following:
>
> * The validator’s **Withdrawal Credentials** match your connected wallet address.
> * The validator is **Active** and has not already been exited.
### Exiting from the dashboard
The Voluntary Exit feature lets you remove your validator directly from the dashboard without requiring wallet signing or API setup.
1. In the Validators Table, click the arrow (→) next to the validator you wish to exit.
2. In the Validator Details modal, select Exit Validator.
3. Review the confirmation message, then click **Confirm Validator Exit**.
4. User successfully submits a voluntary exit. The validator’s status will change to **Exiting** on the dashboard. **You cannot submit another exit request for the same validator.**

### Exiting from the Exit ETH page

2. Select **Dashboard** or click on the card of the Ethereum protocol.
3. Select **Exit** to begin the exit process.
4. Connect your wallet.
5. (Optional) Switch networks if needed.
6. Select the validators you want to exit:
1. You can select one or multiple validators.
2. Only validators with withdrawal credentials that match your connected wallet will be shown.
3. Validators that have already been exited or are pending exit **cannot** be selected.

## Remove Validator
You can remove **external validators** from the Ethereum dashboard if they are active and you no longer wish to track or view their data.
> ❗️ Important Note
