This is also applicable if you created a [parent script](/content/how-to-guides-1/jobs/database-replication/replicate-cdc-data-into-snowflake.md) to generate sub-jobs to replicate your data. You cannot delete individual sub-jobs, instead, you use the `DROP JOB` command to drop the master job and all sub-jobs. ## Example The following example runs a `DROP` statement with `IF EXISTS` to drop the job, **ingest\_sales\_data**. By including `IF EXISTS`, an error is not encountered if the job does not exist. Otherwise, if the job exists, it will be dropped from the organization: ```sql DROP JOB IF EXISTS "ingest_sales_data"; ``` ## Drop a job using the UI You can also drop a job from the **Jobs** page in the UI. Hover over the **three-dots menu** on the job you want to drop, and select **Drop Job**:

Drop a job from the Jobs page

You will then be presented with a modal window asking you to confirm if you want to drop the job and all associated metadata and logs. The window also presents you with the SQL syntax for dropping the job, should you wish to copy and paste this into a worksheet to run the statement manually. Click **Drop Job** to continue, and the job status will refresh and display **Deleting**. Alternatively, click **Cancel** to exit without dropping the job. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://upsolver.gitbook.io/content/reference-1/sql-commands/jobs/drop-job.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
