# Delete a new hire monitor

> Permanently remove a monitor, its events, and its webhook receipts. Rate limit: 120 requests per fixed minute per API key, shared by all new hire monitor endpoints.

> [!NOTE]
>
> New hire monitoring requires a **V2 workspace API key**. Legacy V1 API keys are not supported by these endpoints. Monitors and their credits belong to the V2 workspace associated with the key.

Delete a monitor by `monitor_id`. This permanently removes the monitor, its events, and its webhook receipts. The monitor's results table and its rows stay in the workspace.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Deletion cannot be undone. [Pause the monitor](https://docs.airscale.io/api-reference/new-hire-monitors/update.md) to stop checks temporarily.

The operation returns `{ "ok": true }`. Deleting spends no credits.

## Next step

Use [List new hire monitors](https://docs.airscale.io/api-reference/new-hire-monitors/list.md) to verify the monitor no longer appears.
