FAQPage Schema

How do I safely delete a model from a LiteLLM proxy?▼

You can delete a model by providing its name or ID to initiate a workflow that retrieves the model ID and prompts for explicit confirmation before removal. This prevents accidental deletions on a live proxy.

What happens to API keys tied to a model when removing it from a LiteLLM proxy?▼

When removing a model from a LiteLLM proxy, the workflow warns about existing API keys and references tied to that specific model. It provides guidance on how to properly rotate or clean up those dependent keys before finalizing the deletion.

Can I remove a LiteLLM proxy model using just its name instead of an ID?▼

Yes, you can remove a model using its name. The workflow handles model name-based lookups to automatically retrieve the required model ID before proceeding to the confirmation step for final deletion from the proxy.

What do I need to connect and remove a model from a live LiteLLM proxy?▼

You need the proxy base URL and a valid API key to remove a model from a live LiteLLM proxy. The tool validates this input before using curl to POST the deletion request to the /model/delete endpoint.

Why should I use a guided workflow to delete a LiteLLM proxy model instead of doing it manually?▼

Removing a model from a live LiteLLM proxy manually is risky and can cause accidental removals. A guided workflow validates input, handles name-based lookups, and enforces a confirmation step to ensure safe execution.
