Yes! When creating experiments and calling [`Task.init`](references/sdk/task.md#taskinit), 
 | 
			
		||||
you can provide an experiment type. ClearML supports [multiple experiment types](fundamentals/task.md#task-types). For example:

**My ClearML Server disk space usage is too high. What can I do about this?**
 | 
			
		||||
 |

We designed the ClearML open source suite, including ClearML Server, to ensure experiment traceability. For this reason, the ClearML Web UI does not include a feature to delete experiments. The ClearML Web UI does allow you to archive experiments so that they appear only in the Archive area.
 | 
			
		||||
To clear up space, you can delete ClearML objects (e.g. experiments, models, datasets, etc.). 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In rare instances, however, such as high disk usage for a privately-hosted ClearML Server because Elasticsearch is indexing unwanted experiments, you may choose to delete an experiment.
 | 
			
		||||
To delete an object via the UI: 
 | 
			
		||||
1. Go to the relevant object table (e.g. [Experiments Table](webapp/webapp_exp_table.md), [Models Table](webapp/webapp_model_table.md), etc.) 
 | 
			
		||||
1. Archive the object - Right-click the object in the table **>** click **Archive**
 | 
			
		||||
1. Click **Open Archive** on the top of the table
 | 
			
		||||
1. In the archive table, right-click the object **>** click **Delete**. 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To delete an object programmatically, use the relevant method:
 | 
			
		||||
* Tasks - [`Task.delete()`](references/sdk/task.md#delete)
 | 
			
		||||
* Models
 | 
			
		||||
  * [`Model.remove()`](references/sdk/model_model.md#modelremove)
 | 
			
		||||
  * [`InputModel.remove()`](references/sdk/model_inputmodel.md#inputmodelremove)
 | 
			
		||||
* Datasets - [`Dataset.delete()`](references/sdk/dataset.md#datasetdelete)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can use the `APIClient` provided by ClearML Agent and
 | 
			
		||||
`client.tasks.delete()` to delete an experiment.

 |
