# Delete a Host

You might want to delete a host if you have migrated the tenants to another host, or if you need to re-provision the host.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

If you delete a host, all tenants on that host are also deleted. Move tenants to another host, if needed, before proceeding.

For High Availability deployments, to delete an entire High Availability group, stop and purge all hosts in the group before deleting the group in Cortex XSOAR.
{% endhint %}

1. Stop the host:

   **`service demisto stop`**
2. Purge the installation on the host machine:

   **`sudo ./demistohost-xxx.sh -- -purge`**
3. In Cortex XSOAR, go to Settings → ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT → **Hosts**.
4. Select the host and click **Delete**.
5. Enter the external host name to confirm deletion.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.14/configure-multi-tenant/configure-the-multi-tenant-deployment/delete-a-host.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
