I cannot delete data from the bucket. I use the instructions [Delete data | InfluxDB OSS 2.0 Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/write-data/delete-data/).

Hello @vshaev, Can you please share your entire command? Looking at [the API documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/api/#operation/PostDelete) indicates that a bucket is needed. However, can you try using `-bucket` and `-bucket-id`? Thank you ---

I am trying to use CLI - “influx delete --org myOrg --bucket mybucket --start ‘1970-01-01T00:00:00.00Z’ --stop ‘2020-01-01T00:00:00.00Z’ --token myToken” Error: Failed to delete data: Not implemented. ---

@vshaev, Is your token an all access token? ---

Hi @vshaev, the API used by that CLI command isn’t supported yet. We just merged the implementation, it’ll be included in the 2.0.3 release. ---

Running 2.0.3 database and CLI. I am having exactly the same problem being described. My CLI influx delete command is very similar, but I am using the predicate ‘\_field=“outdoor” AND \_measurement=“temperature”’. Has the fix described truly built into 2.0.3 and are there still issues with the predicate? Thanks ---

Hi @dcaho, delete-with-predicate was shipped with v2.0.3, but we recently discovered that using \_field within the predicates doesn’t work. You can track progress towards the fix on this issue: [InfluxDB delete with predicate works for \_measurement, but not for specific \_field · Issue #20399 · influxdata/influxdb · GitHub](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/20399)
