Hello,

Playing around with Elastic Cloud trial and noticed I have an Agent in Fleet which I cannot remove:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/3/73eb6b0239821df0d17766d86dcc72093758916e.png)

The offline agent seems to remain unselectable and offline. How can I remove it?

Grtz

Willem

Nope, still there:

I think it's because I removed the apm node at a certain point, only to re-add it later, as I discovered it's also required for fleet?

Under 7.13 unfortunately it can only be removed through an API call ( @nchaulet need your help on this one), in the upcoming 7.14 this agent with automatically disappear after a few minutes.

You could use the following call authenticated as a superuser to forceunenroll an agen.

```auto
curl 'https://{YOUR_KIBANA}/api/fleet/agents/{AGENT_ID}/unenroll' \
  -H 'kbn-xsrf: xx' \
  -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"force":true,"revoke":true}' \
  --compressed

```
