Hi in the challenge you are asked to delete the planned variable not upcoming_releases. Here is the code that I used to complete the challenge:

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2

del planned 

total = current_count + upcoming_releases

Hope this helps!

This is a correct use of the deal keyword. The challenge is just asking you to delete the "planned" variable though. Good luck and hope that helps!
