## Before Deleting

Consider these alternatives before deleting a cron job:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Temporarily Disable">
    Instead of deleting, you can deactivate the cron job:

    ```json theme={null}
    PATCH /v1/cron-jobs/{accountId}/update/{cron_job_id}
    {
      "is_active": false
    }
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Export Configuration">
    Get the full configuration before deleting:

    ```bash theme={null}
    GET /v1/cron-jobs/{accountId}/details/{cron_job_id}
    ```

    Save the response to recreate the job later if needed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Download Logs">
    Export execution history before deletion:

    ```bash theme={null}
    GET /v1/cron-jobs/{accountId}/logs/{cron_job_id}?limit=100
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
