## Delete data using the influx CLI
{{% note %}}
If you haven't already, download the [`influx` CLI](/influxdb/cloud/get-started/#optional-download-install-and-use-the-influx-cli).
If you haven't already, download and set up the [`influx` CLI](/influxdb/cloud/get-started/#optional-download-install-and-use-the-influx-cli). Following these setup instructions creates a configuration profile that stores your credentials, including your organization and token.
{{% /note %}}
1. Use the [`influx delete` command](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/delete/) to delete points from InfluxDB.
2. Specify your organization, bucket, and authentication token.
2. If you set up a configuration profile with your organization and token, specify the bucket (`-b`) to delete from. Otherwise, specify your organization (`-o`), bucket (`-b`), and authentication token (`-t`) with write permissions.
3. Define the time range to delete data from with the `--start` and `--stop` flags.
4. (Optional) Specify which points to delete using the predicate parameter and [delete predicate syntax](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/delete-predicate/).
#### Example
```sh
influx delete -o my-org -b my-bucket -t $INFLUX_TOKEN \
 --start '1970-01-01T00:00:00.00Z' \
 --stop '2020-01-01T00:00:00.00Z' \
 --predicate '_measurement="sensors" and sensorID="abc123"'
influx delete --bucket my-bucket \
--start '1970-01-01T00:00:00.00Z' \
--stop '2020-01-01T00:00:00.00Z' \
```
## Delete data using the API
1. Use the InfluxDB API `/delete` endpoint to delete points from InfluxDB.
2. Include your organization and bucket as query parameters in the request URL.
3. Use the `Authorization` header to provide your InfluxDB authentication token.
3. Use the `Authorization` header to provide your InfluxDB authentication token with write permissions.
4. In your request payload, define the time range to delete data from with `start` and `stop`.
5. (Optional) Specify which points to delete using the `predicate` parameter and [delete predicate syntax](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/delete-predicate/).
