    {{< nav-icon "settings" >}}
2. Click the **Secrets** tab.
3. Hover over the secret you want to delete.

## Delete a secret using the influx CLI
Use the [`influx secret delete` command](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/secret/delete/)
to delete a secret key-value pair from your organization.
Provide the secret key to delete with the `-k` or `--key` flag.

```sh
# Syntax
influx secret delete -k <secret-key>

# Example
influx secret delete -k foo
```

## Delete secrets using the InfluxDB API
Use the `POST` request method and the `orgs/{orgID}/secrets/delete` API endpoint
to delete one or more secrets.

**Include the following:**

- Your [organization ID](/influxdb/cloud/admin/organizations/view-orgs/#view-your-organization-id) in the request URL
- Your [API token](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/view-tokens/) in the `Authorization` header
- An array of secret keys to delete in the request body

<!-- -->
```bash
curl -XGET https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/orgs/<org-id>/secrets/delete \
  --H 'Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  --data '{
  "secrets": [
    "<secret-key>"
  ]
}'
```
