Do you mean dismiss? If it a 13, probably. If it is a 7, probably not, especially if the reason you are trying to dismiss is a realization you might lose assets or have other major problems. You chose to not tell us the facts. Speak with your bankruptcy lawyer.

You should be asking your lawyer, who actually knows your case (I hope you did not make the always catastrophic mistake of a pro se filing).

Chapter 7 dismissals are not usually allowed, but discuss the circumstances, which you chose to leave out, with your lawyer.

13s can usually be dismissed but there can be consequences.

A dismissal does NOT erase the filing from your credit report, where it will remain for 10 years.

If you don't have a lawyer, get one immediately.
