Deleting Actions

Deleting an action removes the action and configuration. An action that has been assigned to a working alert cannot be removed; the alerts must be edited to remove the actions and then the action can be deleted.

Hint

Before deleting, if you think you might need the action again, you can export the action to a YAML file. See Exporting an Action
