```sh

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>"
  ]
}'
```
