# Deleting Views

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Deleting a view from the VMS does not delete directories or files from the file system. To delete the view's underlying directory, use the `/folders/delete_folder/` endpoint of the VAST REST API.

To delete a view:

- In VAST Web UI:

  1. From the left navigation menu, select Element Store and then Views.
  2. Right-click the view you want to delete, and select Remove.
  3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
- In VAST CLI, run the `view delete` command.
