Objective
This article shows you how to permanently delete a Messaging Service you no longer need, and what to expect when you confirm the deletion.
Product
Programmable Messaging
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Messaging, then Services.
- Find the service you want to delete. You can delete it from either place:
- From the list, open the row's actions menu and select Delete Service.
- Or open the service, open the actions menu in the page header, and select Delete Service.
- In the confirmation dialog, select Yes, delete permanently.
- Twilio confirms the service was deleted. If you deleted it from the service's own page, you are returned to the Messaging Services list.
Additional Information
- Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
- Any application code that sends through this Service SID stops working once the service is deleted, so update your integration before deleting.
- If you only want to stop using the service temporarily, remove its senders instead of deleting it.
