## Delete a replication rule ## Delete a replication rule
When you delete a replication rule, OpenSearch stops replicating *new* indices that match the pattern, but existing indices that the rule previously created continue to replicate. If you need to stop existing replication activity, use the [stop replication API operation]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/replication-plugin/api/#stop-replication). To delete a replication rule, send the following request:
```bash ```bash
curl -XDELETE -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -u 'admin:admin' 'https://localhost:9200/_plugins/_replication/_autofollow?pretty' -d ' curl -XDELETE -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -u 'admin:admin' 'https://localhost:9200/_plugins/_replication/_autofollow?pretty' -d '
