# Depreciating a Department

**Criteria and circumstances:** 

* Depreciating a department can be decided by representatives before being put to a governance vote. 

**Moving Funds:** 

* The representatives need to decide where to send any remaining funds too. This could be another department (if merging or a responsibilities are changing) or the the Treasury. 
* In Apps there is a "Drain Account" application if there are multiple tokens or assets in the department. 

**Deleting the SAFE:** 

* Find the SAFE at [List of SAFEs ](/working-at-deep-work/creating-projects-and-payments.md)
* Go to Settings / Safe Details 
* Click "Remove SAFE" 
* Confirm the transaction 
* Get a second representative to confirm the transaction 
* Execute the transaction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.deepwork.studio/teams-departments/operations/roles/solutions-architect/depreciating-a-department.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
