# Delete task

Delete an import task record.

```text
POST https://moi.matrixorigin.cn/newmoi/task/delete
```

## Before you call

Prepare the personal access token, target workspace ID, and task ID that have access to the target workspace. Deleting a task will not roll back data that has been written to the target; confirm that the task is no longer needed before deleting it.

The example below uses:

- `$AI_STUDIO_API_KEY`: The actual personal access token, passed through the `X-API-Key` Header.
- `$WORKSPACE_ID`: The workspace ID of the task to be deleted, passed through the `X-Workspace-ID` Header.
- `$TASK_ID`: Task ID to be deleted.

## Request example

```bash
curl -X POST "https://moi.matrixorigin.cn/newmoi/task/delete" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AI_STUDIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Workspace-ID: $WORKSPACE_ID" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"task_id\":\"$TASK_ID\"}"
```
