Delete with caution, as deleting an environment is permanent. To delete an environment: 1. Click the project menu. The project menu appears: The project menu. 2. Select **Project settings**. 3. Select **Environments**. The **Environments** list appears. 4. Click the **three-dot** overflow menu for the environment. 5. Select **Delete environment**. A "Delete environment?" dialog appears. 6. Enter the name or key of your environment in the confirmation field. 7. Click **Delete**. Your environment is now deleted. You can also use the REST API: [Delete environment](/docs/api/environments/delete-environment)
