Deleting an Agent is a simple process. Kill the pods and delete an Agent from the remote VPC and then delete them from ISD interface. With this you are deleting an agent from the customers remote private network & also deleting its entries from ISD. 

Steps to delete an Agent from the UI.

As shown in the figure above, goto Setup page, click on the Agent tab to get a list of all the agents you have configured, click on the 3 vertical dots on the extreme right of the agent row & select "Delete" from the options available. A confirmation dialog box would appear for you to confirm whether you want to proceed with the delete operation.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Deleting an agent from OES instance doesn’t delete the agent pod from the remote VPC**. This means, even if you remove an agent entry from the OES UI, the agent software is running actively and service OES actions.
{% endhint %}

For some reason if the customer accidently deleted an existing Agent from the remote VPC, they can do one of the following.

1. Download the manifest of the existing again and install it on the remote VPC to have Agent up & running.
2. Create a new Agent manifest & install it as a new Agent in the remote VPC.  

{% hint style="info" %}
In either of the cases, the agent configurations would have to be recreated. Hence it is always advisable to take a periodic backup of Agent configurations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.opsmx.com/opsmx-1/opsmx-context-engine/additional-resources/previous-releases/isd-3.10/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-platform/opsmx-isd-setup/opsmx-agent/deleting-an-agent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
