Hi there  
Since i’m not an expert in influx SQL, i need your help.  
I have this series from the host SFG020.

`win_net,host=SFG020,hostgroup=IT,instance=Gigabit-Netzwerkverbindung\ Intel[R]\ 82574L,objectname=Network\ Interface,role=ERP\ Application win_net,host=SFG020,hostgroup=IT,instance=isatap.feltengroup.local,objectname=Network\ Interface,role=ERP\ Application win_net,host=SFG020,hostgroup=IT,instance=isatap.{1E9BE19A-7F71-4C05-83E9-5318B587B08D},objectname=Network\ Interface,role=ERP\ Application win_net,host=SFG020,hostgroup=IT,instance=isatap.{6A83D4DE-096D-42B0-BBFA-D5A261B66045},objectname=Network\ Interface,role=ERP\ Application win_net,host=SFG020,hostgroup=IT,instance=vmxnet3\ Ethernet\ Adapter,objectname=Network\ Interface,role=ERP\ Application`

Would like to delete a specific NIC, because it no longer exists on this host.  
Whats the best way to do this ?

thx for any help here.  
Stefan

I would use `DROP SERIES` . You can find the docs [here](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/query_language/database_management/#drop-series-from-the-index-with-drop-series).

You can drop all series associated with a measurement

`DROP SERIES from "measurement"`

or drop specific tag pairs

`DROP SERIES from "measurement" WHERE "tag" = "someValue"`
