Here is my codecov.yml

I would like to remove all the test flag eg. test and test-clover (the test flag I create from my local console) from my listed flag.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Got it, @kcsam. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to remove an old flag from the UI. We are looking to implement this in the next few months.

@tom
If I choose to Erase Content, would it help to solve this problem?

FYI,
When I choose to Erase Content, it will return me an error of We were unable to erase this repo's content.

If none of the above works, can I ask for support to remove all flags from my repo?

Thanks.

@kcsam, at this time, Erase Content will not delete the old flags, and support will not be able to remove them. However, we are working on that functionality (Erase Content will also remove all flags).

The ETA for the functionality is the end of the month if you can wait until then. Also, are you an admin to the repo?

@kcsam you should be able to remove flags now in the Codecov UI.
