Delete

If you no longer need a check, use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) to delete it.

{{% warn %}} Deleting a check cannot be undone. {{% /warn %}}

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select Alerts > Alerts.

   {{< nav-icon "alerts" >}}

2. Click the {{< icon "delete" >}} icon, and then click {{< caps >}}Confirm{{< /caps >}}.

After a check is deleted, all statuses generated by the check remain in the _monitoring bucket until the retention period for the bucket expires.

{{% note %}} You can also disable a check without having to delete it. {{% /note %}}
