Hi  
I have migrated from Inflxdb 1.8 to 2.0  
At 1.8 I was able to drop measurements by cli

Assuming in 2.0 this are labels

I was not able to find out how I can delete measurement (label) which is not used anymore eg EFWS2990 or test in my example

Many thanks for your help

I could solve the Problem  
influx delete --bucket “openhab\_db/autogen”   
–org home   
–start ‘1970-01-01T00:00:00Z’   
–stop $(date +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")   
–predicate ‘\_measurement=“WP\_Power”’   
–token T9QcFTyNpvmIk36iEBy99Ok9dQ1-kJ7wqjIUUmTRKSFXX4upZKxzM2as\_EewOho52rHqBdiNK0njI3Gdi7==

Was much easier at influx 1.8 !
