Use the [`influxctl token revoke` command](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/token/revoke/)
to revoke a database token from your InfluxDB cluster and disable
all permissions associated with the token.

1.  If you haven't already, [download and install the `influxctl` CLI](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/#download-and-install-influxctl).
2.  Run the [`influxctl token list` command](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/token/list)
    to output tokens with their IDs.
    Copy the **token ID** of the token you want to delete.

    ```sh
    influxctl token list
    ```

3.  Run the `influxctl token revoke` command and provide the following:

    - Token ID to revoke

4.  Confirm that you want to revoke the token.

{{% code-placeholders "TOKEN_ID" %}}
```sh
influxctl token revoke TOKEN_ID
```
{{% /code-placeholders %}}
