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**.

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

2.  Hover over the check you want to delete, click the **{{< icon "delete" >}}**
    icon, and then **Delete**.

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](/v2.0/monitor-alert/checks/update/#enable-or-disable-a-check)
without having to delete it.
