@kcsam can you post your `codecov.yml`? ---

@tom Here is my codecov.yml ```auto codecov: require_ci_to_pass: false # Codecov would not wait for all other statuses to pass before sending its status. notify: wait_for_ci: false # Codecov would not wait for all CI statuses to complete before sending ours. after_n_builds: 1 # number of reports Codecov should wait to receive before sending statuses coverage: precision: 2 round: down status: project: default: target: 70% # the required coverage value threshold: 1% # the leniency in hitting the target patch: default: target: 90% threshold: 1% comment: layout: 'reach,diff,flags,files' behavior: default # update, if exists.

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.
