title: How can I delete services in Elastic APM?
body: <p>I'm trying out Elastic APM. I have successfully created a service with data flowing in. I wanted to see if I can have multiple services. Somehow, I ran into problems, so I wanted to delete some services. However, I couldn't find a way to delete a service. </p>
