# Revoke a database token

Use the [`influxctl token revoke` command](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/token/revoke/) to revoke a database token from your InfluxDB cluster and disable all permissions associated with the token.

1. If you haven’t already, [download and install the `influxctl` CLI](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/#download-and-install-influxctl).
    
2. Run the [`influxctl token list` command](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/token/list) to output tokens with their IDs. Copy the **token ID** of the token you want to delete.
    
    ```sh
    influxctl token list
    ```
    
3. Run the `influxctl token revoke` command and provide the following:
    
    -   Token ID to revoke
4. Confirm that you want to revoke the token.
    

```sh
influxctl token revoke TOKEN_ID
```

#### Revoking a token is immediate and cannot be undone

Revoking a database token is a destructive action that takes place immediately and cannot be undone.

#### Rotate revoked tokens

After revoking a database token, any clients using the revoked token need to be updated with a new database token to continue to interact with your InfluxDB cluster.
