=== Delete Watch API
The DELETE watch API removes a watch from {watcher}.
[float]
==== Request
`DELETE _xpack/watcher/watch/<watch_id>`
[float]
==== Description
When the watch is removed, the document representing the watch in the `.watches`
index is gone and it will never be run again.
Please note that deleting a watch **does not** delete any watch execution records
related to this watch from the watch history.
IMPORTANT: Deleting a watch must be done via this API only. Do not delete the
watch directly from the `.watches` index using the Elasticsearch
DELETE Document API. When {security} is enabled, make sure no `write`
privileges are granted to anyone over the `.watches` index.
[float]
==== Path Parameters
`watch_id` (required)::
(string) Identifier for the watch.
[float]
==== Authorization
You must have `manage_watcher` cluster privileges to use this API. For more
information, see {xpack-ref}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges].
[float]
==== Examples
The following example deletes a watch with the `my-watch` id:
[source,js]

DELETE _xpack/watcher/watch/my_watch
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:my_active_watch]
Response:

"_version": 2
}
--------------------------------------------------
