API

In the management console, navigate to the folder containing the trigger.
Go to Cloud Functions.
In the left-hand panel, select Triggers.
Select the trigger you want to delete.
In the top-right corner, click and select Delete.
In the window that opens, click Delete.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To find out the name or unique ID of a trigger, get a list of triggers in the folder.

Delete the trigger:

yc serverless trigger delete <trigger_name>

Result:

id: a1s9q2li6t**********
folder_id: b1g9hv2loa**********

For more information about Terraform, see the documentation.

With Terraform, 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. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

To delete a trigger created using Terraform:

Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the trigger description.

Example trigger description in the Terraform configuration:

...
resource "yandex_function_trigger" "my_trigger" {
  name        = "some_name"
  description = "any description"
  timer {
    cron_expression = "* * * * ? *"
  }
  function {
    id = "tf-test"
  }
}
...

In the command line, go to the directory with the Terraform configuration file.
Check the configuration using this command:
```
terraform validate
```
If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
Run this command:
```
terraform plan
```
You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.
Apply the changes:
```
terraform apply
```
Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

You can check the update using the management console or these CLI commands:
```
yc serverless trigger list
```

To delete a trigger, use the delete REST API method for the Trigger resource or the TriggerService/Delete gRPC API call.
