reporting agents.
To delete a configuration:

    navigation bar.
2.  Click the **More button ({{% icon "tc-more" %}})** next to the configuration
    you want to delete and select **{{% icon "trash" %}} Delete**.
3.  Confirm the deletion.

### From the configuration detail page

1.  In the {{% product-name %}} web interface, select **Configurations** in the 
    navigation bar.
2.  Click the name of the configuration you want to delete to view the
    configuration detail page.
