# Consul Config Delete

for more details about configuration entries.
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication). Configuration of
[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching)
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.

## Usage
Usage: `consul config delete [options]`
#### Command Options
- `-kind` - Specifies the kind of the config entry to read.
- `-name` - Specifies the name of the config entry to delete. The name of the
`proxy-defaults` config entry must be `global`, and the name of the `mesh`
config entry must be `mesh`.
- `-filename` - Specifies the file describing the config entry to delete.
- `-cas` - Perform a Check-And-Set operation. Specifying this value also
