Delete configurations you no longer use to keep Telegraf Controller organized.

> [!Warning]
> Deleting a configuration permanently removes it from Telegraf Controller.

### From the configuration detail page

1. In the Telegraf Controller web interface, select **Configurations** in the
   navigation bar.
2. Click the name of the configuration you want to delete to view the
   configuration detail page.
