* influx CLI 2.0.0+
* InfluxDB 2.0.0+

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS.[InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a
copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing
tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t
be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still
need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

The `influx config rm` command removes an InfluxDB connection configuration
from the `configs` file (by default, stored at `~/.influxdbv2/configs`).

## Usage

```
influx config rm <config-name> [flags]
```

#### Command aliases

`rm`, `remove`, `delete`
