Delete a Terrascan Scan Configuration

Important! Tenable is removing all Terrascan functionality from Tenable Nessus on September 30, 2025. For more information, see the Terrascan End of Support FAQ.

You can delete a scan configuration from the Nessus Terrascan user interface.

Note: If you create a Terrascan scan configuration while you have a Tenable Nessus Expert license and decide to downgrade from Tenable Nessus Expert, you can still delete the scan configuration after downgrading.

Before you begin:

To delete a Terrascan scan configuration:

  1. Under Resources in the left-side navigation pane, click Terrascan.

    The Scans page appears.

  2. In the scan table, roll over the scan you want to edit.

  3. In the scan row, click the button.

    The Delete Configuration window appears.

  4. Click Delete.

    Tenable Nessus deletes the scan configuration and removes it from the Terrascan scan table.
