# Deleting a service connection



{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.
  
  1. View the description of the CLI command for deleting a [service connection](../concepts/private-endpoint.md) (private endpoint):

      ```bash
      yc vpc private-endpoint delete --help
      ```

  1. Get a list of all service connections:

     ```bash
     yc vpc private-endpoint list
     ```

     Result:
     
     ```text
     +----------------------+-------------+--------------------------------+
     |          ID          |    NAME     |          DESCRIPTION           |
     +----------------------+-------------+--------------------------------+
     | enpd7rq************* | s3-vpc-link | Private Endpoint to the Object |
     |                      |             | Storage                        |
     +----------------------+-------------+--------------------------------+
     ``` 

  1. Select the `ID` or `NAME` of the service connection.
  1. Delete the service connection:

     ```bash
     yc vpc private-endpoint delete <connection_ID>
     ```


- 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 guides 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 [service connection](../concepts/private-endpoint.md) created with Terraform:
  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section describing the `yandex_vpc_private_endpoint` resource:

     ```hcl
     resource "yandex_vpc_private_endpoint" "vpc-endpoint" {
       name        = "<service_connection_name>"
       description = "<service_connection_description>"
       network_id  = "<cloud_network_ID>"
       
       # Service connection to Object Storage
       object_storage {}

       # Creating additional DNS resource records 
       dns_options {
         private_dns_records_enabled = <true_or_false>
       }

       endpoint_address {
         subnet_id = "<subnet_ID>"
       }
     }
     ```

  1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
  1. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
  
     ```bash
     terraform validate
     ```
  
     If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
  
     ```bash
     Success! The configuration is valid.
     ```
  
  1. Run this command:
  
     ```bash
     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:
  
     ```bash
     terraform apply
     ```
  
  1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

  You can check the updates in the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud) or using this [CLI](../../cli/quickstart.md) command:

  ```bash
  yc vpc private-endpoint list
  ```

- API {#api}

  To delete a [service connection](../concepts/private-endpoint.md), use the [delete](../privatelink/api-ref/PrivateEndpoint/delete.md) REST API method for the [PrivateEndpoint](../privatelink/api-ref/PrivateEndpoint/index.md) resource or the [PrivateEndpointService/Delete](../privatelink/api-ref/grpc/PrivateEndpoint/delete.md) gRPC API call.
