Delete a database token	Use the [`influxctl token delete` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/token/delete/) or the [Management HTTP API](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/) to delete a database token from your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster and revoke all permissions associated with the token. Provide the ID of the database token you want to delete.	influxdb3_cloud_dedicated parent Database tokens	203	##### CLI ```sh influxctl token delete <TOKEN_ID> ``` ##### API ```sh curl \ --location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID" \ --request DELETE \ --header "Accept: application/json" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" \ ```	/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tokens/delete/	/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/token/delete/ /influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/api/

Use the influxctl CLI or the Management HTTP API to delete a database token from your {{< product-name omit=" Clustered" >}} cluster.

{{< tabs-wrapper >}} {{% tabs %}} influxctl Management API {{% /tabs %}} {{% tab-content %}}

Use the influxctl token delete command to delete a database token from your {{% product-name omit="Clustered" %}} cluster and revoke all permissions associated with the token.

1. If you haven't already, download and install the influxctl CLI, and then configure an influxctl connection profile for your cluster.

2. To list token IDs, run the influxctl token list command in your terminal.

   influxctl token list
   

   Copy the token ID of the token you want to delete.

3. Run the influxctl token delete command and provide the following:

   • Token ID to delete

4. Confirm that you want to delete the token.

{{% code-placeholders "TOKEN_ID" %}}

influxctl token delete TOKEN_ID

{{% /code-placeholders %}}

{{% /tab-content %}} {{% tab-content %}}

This example uses cURL to send a Management HTTP API request, but you can use any HTTP client.

1. If you haven't already, follow the instructions to install cURL for your system.

2. In your terminal, use cURL to send a request to the following {{% product-name %}} endpoint:

   {{% api-endpoint endpoint="https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID" method="delete" api-ref="/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/#operation/DeleteDatabaseToken" %}}

   In the URL, provide the following:

   • ACCOUNT_ID: The ID of the account that the cluster belongs to (see how to list cluster details).
   • CLUSTER_ID: The ID of the cluster that you want to manage (see how to list cluster details).
   • TOKEN_ID: The ID of the database token that you want to delete (see how to list token details).

   Provide the following request headers:

   • Accept: application/json to ensure the response body is JSON content
   • Authorization: Bearer and a Management API token for your cluster (see how to create a management token for Management API requests).

   Specify the DELETE request method.

The following example shows how to use the Management API to delete a database token and revoke all permissions associated with the token: {{% code-placeholders "TOKEN_ID|ACCOUNT_ID|CLUSTER_ID|MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" %}}

curl \
 --location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID" \
 --request DELETE \
 --header "Accept: application/json" \
 --header "Authorization: Bearer $MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" \

{{% /code-placeholders %}}

Replace the following:

• {{% code-placeholder-key %}}ACCOUNT_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} account to create the database token for
• {{% code-placeholder-key %}}CLUSTER_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} cluster to create the database token for
• {{% code-placeholder-key %}}MANAGEMENT TOKEN{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: a management token for your {{% product-name %}} cluster
• {{% code-placeholder-key %}}TOKEN_ID{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the database token to delete

{{% /tab-content %}} {{< /tabs-wrapper >}}

Deleting a token is immediate and cannot be undone

Deleting a database token is a destructive action that takes place immediately and cannot be undone.

Rotate deleted tokens

After deleting a database token, any clients using the deleted token need to be updated with a new database token to continue to interact with your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster. {{% /warn %}}
