=== Delete Jobs API
++++
<titleabbrev>Delete Jobs</titleabbrev>
++++
This API enables you to delete an existing anomaly detection job.
==== Request
`DELETE _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>`
==== Description
All job configuration, model state and results are deleted.
IMPORTANT: Deleting a job must be done via this API only. Do not delete the
job directly from the `.ml-*` indices using the Elasticsearch
DELETE Document API. When {security} is enabled, make sure no `write`
privileges are granted to anyone over the `.ml-*` indices.
Before you can delete a job, you must delete the {dfeeds} that are associated
with it. See <<ml-delete-datafeed,Delete {dfeeds-cap}>>. Unless the `force` parameter
is used the job must be closed before it can be deleted.
It is not currently possible to delete multiple jobs using wildcards or a comma
separated list.
==== Path Parameters
`job_id` (required)::
(string) Identifier for the job
===== Query Parameters
`force`::
(boolean) Use to forcefully delete an opened job; this method is quicker than
closing and deleting the job.
==== Authorization
You must have `manage_ml`, or `manage` cluster privileges to use this API.
For more information, see {xpack-ref}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges].
==== Examples
The following example deletes the `total-requests` job:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
DELETE _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/total-requests
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:server_metrics_job]
When the job is deleted, you receive the following results:
[source,js]
----
{
"acknowledged": true
}
----
// TESTRESPONSE
