Delete API tokens using the InfluxDB user interface (UI), `influx` command line
interface (CLI), or InfluxDB API.
Once deleted, all users and external integrations using the API token will no longer
have access to your InfluxDB instance.

#### InfluxDB UI ####

## Delete tokens in the InfluxDB UI

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select **Load Data** \> **API Tokens**.

   Load Data

2. Find the token that you would like to delete.

3. Click the  icon located far right of the token description.

4. Click **Confirm** to delete the token.

## Delete a token using the influx CLI

Use the [`influx auth delete` command](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/auth/delete)to delete a token.

Provide the following flags:

* `--token`: API token with permission to delete authorizations
* `--id`: Authorization ID to delete (available in the output of `influx auth find`)

```sh
influx auth delete \
  --token API_TOKEN \
  --id AUTHORIZATION_ID
```

## Delete a token using the InfluxDB API

Use the `/api/v2/authorizations` InfluxDB API endpoint to delete a token.

```
DELETE https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations/{AUTH_ID}
```

Include the following in your request:

* **Headers**:
  * **Authorization**: `Token API_TOKEN`(API token with the [`write: authorizations`](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/api/authorizations-api-tokens/#operation/PostAuthorizations) permission)
  * **Content-type**: `application/json`

* **Path parameters**:
  * **authID**: Authorization ID to delete

```sh
# Delete the first authorization listed for the user.
curl --request GET \
  https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations?user=user2 \
  --header "Authorization: Token API_TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json' \
| jq .authorizations[0].id \
| xargs -I authid curl --request DELETE \
  https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations/authid \
  --header "Authorization: Token API_TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json'
```
