Use the Admin UI, the [`influxctl` CLI](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/),
or the [Management HTTP API](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/)
to delete a database from your {{< product-name omit=" Clustered" >}} cluster.
> [!Warning]
>
> #### Deleting a database cannot be undone
>
> Once a database is deleted, data stored in that database cannot be recovered.
>
> #### Wait before writing to a new database with the same name
>
> After deleting a database from your {{% product-name omit=" Clustered" %}}
> cluster, you can reuse the name to create a new database, but **wait two to
> three minutes** after deleting the previous database before writing to the new
> database to allow write caches to clear.

<!------------------------------- BEGIN ADMIN UI ------------------------------>
The InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated administrative UI includes a portal for
managing databases.
1. To access the {{< product-name >}} Admin UI, visit the following URL in your browser:
<pre>
<a href="https://console.influxdata.com">https://console.influxdata.com</a>
</pre>
2. Use the credentials provided by InfluxData to log into the Admin UI.
If you don't have login credentials, [contact InfluxData support](https://support.influxdata.com).
3. In the cluster list, find the cluster you want to create a database in. You
can sort on column headers or use the **Search** field to find a specific cluster.
4. Click the options button (three vertical dots) to the right of the token you want to revoke.
The options menu displays.
5. In the options menu, click **Delete Database**. The **Delete Database** dialog displays.
6. In the **Delete Database** dialog, check the box to confirm that you "understand the risk of this action".
7. Click the **Delete Database** button to delete the database.

<!------------------------------- BEGIN INFLUXCTL ----------------------------->
1. If you haven't already,
[download and install the `influxctl` CLI](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/#download-and-install-influxctl), and then [configure an `influxctl` connection profile](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/#configure-connection-profiles)
for your cluster.
2. In your terminal, run the `influxctl database delete` command and provide the following:
- The name of the database to delete
3. Confirm that you want to delete the database.
{{% code-placeholders "DATABASE_NAME" %}}
```sh
influxctl database delete DATABASE_NAME
```
{{% /code-placeholders %}}

<!------------------------------- BEGIN cURL ---------------------------------->
_This example uses [cURL](https://curl.se/) 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](https://everything.curl.dev/install/index.html) 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/databases/DATABASE_NAME" method="delete" api-ref="/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/api/management/#operation/DeleteClusterDatabase" %}}
In the URL, provide the following:
- `ACCOUNT_ID`: The ID of the [account](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/get-started/setup/#request-an-influxdb-cloud-dedicated-cluster)
that the cluster belongs to _(see how to [list cluster details](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/clusters/list/#detailed-output-in-json))_.
- `CLUSTER_ID`: The ID of the [cluster](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/get-started/setup/#request-an-influxdb-cloud-dedicated-cluster)
that you want to manage _(see how to [list cluster details](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/clusters/list/#detailed-output-in-json))_.
- `DATABASE_NAME`: The name of the [database](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/databases/)
that you want to delete _(see how to [list databases](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/databases/list/))_.
Provide the following request headers:
- `Accept: application/json` to ensure the response body is JSON content
- `Authorization: Bearer` and a [Management API token](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tokens/management/) for your cluster _(see how to [create a management token](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tokens/management/) for Management API requests)_.
Specify the `DELETE` request method.
The following example shows how to use the Management API to delete a database:
{{% code-placeholders "DATABASE_NAME|ACCOUNT_ID|CLUSTER_ID|MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" %}}
```sh
curl \
--location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/databases/DATABASE_NAME" \
--request DELETE \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer MANAGEMENT_TOKEN"
```
{{% /code-placeholders %}}
Replace the following in your request:
- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}`ACCOUNT_ID`{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} [account](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/get-started/setup/#request-an-influxdb-cloud-dedicated-cluster) to create the database for
- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}`CLUSTER_ID`{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: the ID of the {{% product-name %}} [cluster](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/get-started/setup/#request-an-influxdb-cloud-dedicated-cluster) to create the database for
- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}`MANAGEMENT TOKEN`{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: a [management token](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/tokens/management/) for your {{% product-name %}} cluster
- {{% code-placeholder-key %}}`DATABASE_NAME`{{% /code-placeholder-key %}}: your {{% product-name %}} [database](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/databases/)
