See DELETE for the "saved/searches/{name}" endpoint.<BR /> <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1612/RESTREF/RESTsearch#saved.2Fsearches.2F.7Bname.7D">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1612/RESTREF/RESTsearch#saved.2Fsearches.2F.7Bname.7D</A> </P> <P>Please keep in mind that the Splunk Search interface command line provides a 'rest' command, but this is read only, and is not a true REST client. Please use your favorite common purpose REST client.
