Welcome to the community @xcyk1226!

The easiest way is to wait until the service stops reporting in on its own. If you'd really like to delete a service you'll need to remove the documents associated with it, similar to how you'd rename a service following [Update existing data | APM Server Reference [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/update-existing-data.html). To delete, change `_update_by_query` to `_delete_by_query` and remove the script, like:

```auto
POST /apm-*/_delete_by_query
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "service.name": {
        "value": "old-service-name"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

I'm not sure I fully understand, are you saying you needed to execute the delete by query on `.*apm*` to resolve the issue? That would make sense if you are utilizing data streams (eg if using the APM Integration) - nice work! We will get this into the docs.
