The '''Do Not Delete''' is an item with the appearance of a chest that can be found out of bounds in many homes and businesses across Skyrim. There are four variations of the item, and they are used by the game to set your bounty for certain actions that may be performed during the [[Skyrim:Thieves_Guild_(faction)#Special_Job_Quests|Thieves Guild side quests]]. Since each action is considered theft by the game, the bounty incurred will always be half of the value of the corresponding Do Not Delete. Additionally, [[Skyrim:NPCs|NPCs]] will comment on the crime as if it were theft, even if it appears that no item was stolen.

==Notes==
* Although they are considered an item, they are not affected by physics. This can be useful for reaching otherwise inaccessible areas.
* Picking up the items seems to have no effect on gameplay. You will still receive a bounty when seen, and the Thieves Guild quests function as normal.
