# Deleting Monitors

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Although you can easily delete unnecessary monitors, there is no cost in keeping them.

## Before You Begin

Ensure that your user ID has the following permission set in Access Management:

- **Exchange > Exchange Administrator**

See [Manage Permissions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/managing-permissions).

## Delete a Monitor

Delete a monitor either from the homepage or from its detail page.

To delete a monitor from the homepage:

1.  Hover over the test to delete.

2.  Click **Delete** (![afm ui trash button](/mulesoft/current/en-us/api-functional-monitoring/_images/afm-ui-trash-button.png)).

3.  In the **Delete Monitor** dialog, click **Delete**.

To delete a monitor from its detail page:

1.  Select the monitor that you want to delete.

2.  Click the monitor.

3.  Click **More** (![afm ui more button](/mulesoft/current/en-us/api-functional-monitoring/_images/afm-ui-more-button.png)) > **Delete Monitor**.

4.  In the **Delete Monitor** dialog, click **Delete**.

    The monitor and its schedules are deleted. The workers provisioned for the schedules are also
    deleted, and their consumed resources are made available to other workers.
