# Deleting active domain cancelations

If a cancelation request has been submitted for a certain future date and has not been executed, the cancelation request can be deleted.

## Inquiring domain information

Since the expire date is required for the _DomainRenew_ command, it has to be inquired beforehand. The expire date is returned in the response as a value within the `exDate` tag.

## Deleting running cancelations

The delete a cancelation, use the _DomainRenew_ command. The important part is to set the period to 0. Inside the `curExpDate` tag, the value is set from `exDate`.

Warning

If you declare a period larger than 0, the domain registration period of the domain is extended!
