# runs delete

## Synopsis

```shell
omics workbench runs delete [RUN_ID...]
  [--force]
```

## Description

Delete one or more runs from being managed by Workbench, prompting for confirmation before deleting. This operation does not delete the underlying resources in the execution environment.

## Examples

The basic usage of this command is for deleting a single run. When running the command below, you will be prompted to confirm whether you want to actually delete the run.

```shell
omics workbench runs delete e5ed2c8f-d570-42db-a897-0861d7f828d2
```

If you are running the command in a script (or do not want to be prompted), you can specify the `--force` command line flag.

```shell
omics workbench runs delete --force e5ed2c8f-d570-42db-a897-0861d7f828d2
```

## Positional Arguments

### `RUN_ID`

Specify one or more run ID's that you would like to delete. The run ID can be found on the [Monitor](https://workbench.omics.ai/monitor) or via the [runs list](/products/command-line-interface/reference/workbench/runs-list.md) command.

## Flags

### `--force`

Force the deletion without prompting for confirmation.
