Once deleted, all users and external integrations using the API token will no longer
have access to your InfluxDB instance.

## Delete a token using the influx CLI

Use the [`influx auth delete` command](/influxdb/version/reference/cli/influx/auth/delete)
to delete a token.

_This command requires an auth ID, which is available in the output of `influx auth find`._

```sh
# Syntax
influx auth delete -i <auth-id>

# Example
influx auth delete -i 03a2bee5a9c9a000
```

## Delete a token using the InfluxDB API

Use the `/api/v2/authorizations` InfluxDB API endpoint to delete a token.

{{< api-endpoint method="DELETE" endpoint="http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations/AUTH_ID" api-ref="/influxdb/version/api/#operation/DeleteAuthorizationsID" >}}

Include the following in your request:
