* InfluxDB 3 Enterprise v3.10.0+

Use `influxdb3 loadcap delete` to delete a workload capture profile.

> [!Note]
> Load capture requires the [upgraded storage engine](/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/internals/storage-engine/)—the default for new clusters.
> On clusters that started on 3.10 or earlier, first run the [storage engine upgrade](/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/config-options/#upgrade-pacha-tree) (`--upgrade-pacha-tree`).
> Send requests to a node with an explicit `--mode` setting that includes `query`, for example, `--mode query` or `--mode ingest --mode query --mode compact`.
> Load capture isn’t available on a node that uses the default `--mode all` configuration.

## Usage

```bash
influxdb3 loadcap delete --profile-id <PROFILE_ID> [OPTIONS]
```
