Hi,

I managed to miscode some javascript in a panel on a test dashboard and now as soon as you click on the dashboard it loads an iframe as a new page replacing the grafana. Clicking back just reloads the iframe again.

There doesn’t seem to be anyway to delete the dashboard from the list of dashboards.

Any help on how to remove this dashboard would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks  
Craig

You could do it via the api or via the database or if you are on 5.0 beta then you can do it via the new Manage Dashboards page.

With the API:

[http://docs.grafana.org/http\_api/dashboard/#delete-dashboard](http://docs.grafana.org/http_api/dashboard/#delete-dashboard)

```bash
curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJrIXXXXXXX" http://grafana.staged-by-discourse.com/api/dashboards/db/your-dashboard-slug

```

or with user `admin` and password `admin`:

```bash
curl -X DELETE http://admin:admin@community.grafana.com/api/dashboards/db/your-dashboard-slug

```

Is it possible to delete the dashboard using PHP cURL? A “DELETE” CURLOPT\_CUSTOMREQUEST gives me a 404 status code.
