# Deleting suppression rules in GuardDuty
<a name="delete-suppression-rules-guardduty"></a>

This section provides the steps to delete a suppression rule in your AWS account in a specific AWS Region.

You may want to delete a suppression rule that no longer depicts an expected behavior in your environment. You no longer want to suppress the associated finding type so that GuardDuty can generate a finding type.

If you're a member account, your administrator account can take this action on your behalf. For more information, see [Administrator account and member account relationships](administrator_member_relationships.md).

Choose your preferred access method to delete a suppression rule for GuardDuty finding types.

#### [ Console ]

1. Open the GuardDuty console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/).

1. On the **Suppression rules** page, select the suppression rule to delete.

1.  From the **Actions** dropdown, select **Delete suppression rule**. 

1.  It prompts a confirmation pop-up. Select **Delete** to proceed with the deletion. Or select **Cancel** to cancel the operation.

#### [ API/CLI ]

Run the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteFilter.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteFilter.html) API. Specify the filter name and the associated detector ID for the particular Region. 

Alternatively, you can use the following AWS CLI example by replacing the values formatted in {{red}}:

```
aws guardduty delete-filter \
--detector-id {{12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0}} \
--filter-name {{filterName}} \
--region {{us-east-1}}
```

To find the `detectorId` for your account and current Region, see the **Settings** page in the [https://console.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/) console, or run the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html) API.
