You can delete an application from Azion Console or the Azion API. To keep a copy of its settings before you delete it, refer to Clone an application.

Choose the interface you use. The prerequisites and the deletion steps follow that choice.

Prerequisites

You need access to Azion Console. To sign in, refer to Access Azion Console.

  • A personal token for the Authorization header, in the form Token [TOKEN VALUE]. To create a token, refer to Manage a personal token.
  • An HTTP client, such as curl.
  • The ID of the application. It appears in the Azion Console address of the application page, after /applications/edit/.

Delete the application

Azion deletes the application together with the settings and instances that belong to it, such as its rules and cache settings. You cannot undo a deletion.

To delete the application with the API, send a DELETE request to the endpoint of the application. Put its ID in place of <application-id>:

Shell
01curl --request DELETE \
02 --url https://api.azion.com/v4/workspace/applications/<application-id> \
03 --header 'Accept: application/json' \
04 --header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]'

The API answers 202 when it accepts the deletion. Once the deletion completes, the application no longer appears when you list the applications in your account.

To delete the application in Azion Console:

Open the Applications page

Access Azion Console > Applications.

Find the application

To narrow the list, enter the name of the application in the search box.

Open the Actions menu of the application

In the row of the application, select the Actions menu.

Select Delete

Select Delete. The Delete Application dialog opens and warns that the deletion cannot be reversed.

Type the confirmation text

In the confirmation box, type the text that the dialog quotes, which is the name of the application. Delete stays unavailable until the text matches.

Confirm the deletion

Select Delete.

Azion Console shows Resource successfully deleted, and the application no longer appears in the Applications list.
