</Note>

To proceed, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the correct environment
2. Click on "Services" and navigate to the correct service
3. Go to "Settings" section of the service
4. Click on "Delete" button and confirm your action.
5. Deletion will start and complete in 0-2 mins.

If the service is deleted before its first deployment, it will be deleted immediately without any logs.

If the service was running within the environment, it will take a few mins to complete the deletion. You can follow the
activity in Ops section.
