# Deleting Backup Job

You can delete a backup job with the Veeam Agent command line interface. To delete a backup job, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig job delete --name <job_name>
```

or

```
veeamconfig job delete --id <job_id>
```

where:

- `<job_name>` — name of the backup job that you want to delete.
- `<job_id>` — ID of the backup job that you want to delete.

For example:

```
$ veeamconfig job delete --name SystemBackup
```
