## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) or by environment variables (`INFLUX_HOST`, `INFLUX_ORG`, and `INFLUX_TOKEN`). If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

-   `--host`: [InfluxDB host](/influxdb/cloud-serverless/reference/urls/)
-   `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
-   `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

### Delete a remote

1. Use `influx remote list` to get the ID for the remote you want to delete.
    
    ```sh
    $ influx remote list --org-id <OSS org ID> --token <OSS token>
    ID			        Name		Org ID
    0ooxX0xxXo0x 	    myremote    [...]
    ```
    
2. Use the following command to delete the remote:
    
    ```sh
    influx remote delete \
      --org-id <OSS org ID> \
      --token <OSS token> \
      --id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
    ```
