# Removing an existing event connector

## Introduction

Existing event connectors can be removed at any time. Before doing this, please consider the [Need to know](#need-to-know) points detailed below.

## Need to know

* When an event connector is removed, it means that it's no longer available for use as a trigger in process flows - there's no effect on any associated queues/topics within your message broker.
* If you remove an event connector that has been configured as a trigger in process flows, it is detached from those trigger shapes, automatically.

## The steps

To remove an existing event connector, follow the steps below.

**Step 1**\
Access your [existing event connectors](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/event-connectors-beta/accessing-your-event-connectors.md).

**Step 2**\
Click the name of the event connector that you want to remove - for example:

When prompted, confirm this action.
