# Delete a schedule (`schedules_delete`)

Stops a schedule for good, or cancels a one-off run before it runs; past runs stay in the call log.

Stop a schedule for good and end its monthly rent. Its past runs stay in the call log.

Price: Free. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

A schedule is no longer needed, or a later run should not happen.

## Say this to your agent

> Stop the weekly journal export. The accountant reads the books directly now.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Allowed values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `schedule_id` | integer | yes | The schedule_id schedules_create returned. At least 1. |  |  |
