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 yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

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

Delete the trigger:

yc serverless trigger delete <trigger_name>

Result:

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

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 with Terraform:

Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section describing the trigger.

Example of a 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.
Validate your configuration using this command:
```
terraform validate
```
If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
Run this command:
```
terraform plan
```
You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

You can check the updates using the management console or using this CLI command:
```
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.
