# Delete an alert

> For the complete machine-readable documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://apidocs.chargebee.com/llms.txt).


[Idempotency Supported](/docs/api/idempotency)

Deletes an alert configuration. Only subscription-scoped alerts can be deleted using this endpoint.

**Important**

This operation cannot delete global alerts. To stop a global alert from firing, [update the alert](/docs/api/alerts/update-an-alert) and set `status` to `disabled` instead.

### Impacts

**

Alert configuration

**

The alert configuration is permanently deleted from the system and cannot be recovered.

**

Alert statuses

**

All [alert statuses](/docs/api/alert_statuses) associated with this alert are removed. No further evaluation takes place, and no `alert_status_changed` webhooks are fired for this alert going forward.
