Objective
This article helps you permanently remove a sink from your account when you no longer want Twilio to deliver event data to that destination.
Product
Event Streams
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Data in the left sidebar.
- Select Event Streams, then Sinks.
- Find the sink you want to remove. Check the Subscriptions column, if it shows any subscriptions, delete them first from the sink's Subscriptions tab.
- Open the actions menu on the sink's row and select Delete sink. You can also open the sink and select Delete sink from its actions menu.
- Confirm in the dialog, which asks you to confirm you want to delete that named sink.
- A confirmation appears and the sink is removed from the list.
Additional Information
Delete sink stays disabled while the sink still has subscriptions; the menu explains that you need to remove all subscriptions before deleting the sink. If subscriptions are removed in another session after this page loaded, the delete may still be rejected for the same reason, refresh and try again.
If the sink's subscription count cannot be determined (for example because that data failed to load), delete stays disabled rather than risking a deletion based on incomplete information. Refresh the page to try again.
Deletion is processed asynchronously. If it does not finish immediately you see a message saying the data will reflect shortly, refresh the list a moment later to confirm.
Deleting a sink is permanent and stops all event delivery to that destination.
