# Deleting a container label

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- CLI {#cli}
    
    To delete a container label, run this command:

    ```
    yc serverless container remove-labels <container_name> --labels <key>
    ```

    Result:

    ```
    id: flh7r96juaqq********
    folder_id: aoek6qrs8tjh********
    created_at: "2021-08-17T07:53:10.219Z"
    name: my-beta-container
    description: my beta container description
    url: https://flh7r96juaqq********.containers.yandexcloud.net/
    status: ACTIVE
    ```

- Terraform {#tf}

  With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
  
  Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license.
  
  For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../terraform/index.md).

  If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform).
  
  
  To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method.

  To delete a label of a container created with Terraform:

  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the label from the `labels` section in the `yandex_serverless_container` resource:
     ```hcl
     ...
     resource "yandex_serverless_container" "test-container" {
       name   = "my first container with description"
       memory = 256
       image {
          url = "cr.yandex/yc/test-image:v1"
       }
       labels = {
          label1 = "new-label"
       }
     }
     ...
     ```

	 For more information about the `yandex_serverless_container` properties in Terraform, see [this provider guide](../../terraform/resources/serverless_container.md).

  1. Validate your configuration using this command:
     ```
     terraform validate
     ```
     
     If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
     
     ```
     Success! The configuration is valid.
     ```

  1. Run this command:
     ```
     terraform plan
     ```
  
     You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.

  1. Apply the configuration changes:
     ```
     terraform apply
     ```
     
  1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

  You can verify that the container label has been deleted using the [CLI](../../cli/index.md):

  ```
  yc serverless container get <container_name_or_ID>
  ```

- API {#api}

  To delete a container label, use the [update](../containers/api-ref/Container/update.md) REST API method for the [Container](../containers/api-ref/Container/index.md) resource or the [ContainerService/Update](../containers/api-ref/grpc/Container/update.md) gRPC API call.
