### Remove alert rules for Start/Stop VMs during off-hours
For Start/Stop VMs during off-hours, you also need to remove the alert rules created by the feature.
1. In the Azure portal, go to your resource group and select **Monitoring** > **Alerts** > **Manage alert rules**.

2. On the Rules page, you should see a list of the alerts configured in that resource group. The feature creates these rules:
* AutoStop_VM_Child
* ScheduledStartStop_Parent
* SequencedStartStop_Parent
3. Select the rules one at a time, and select **Delete** to remove them.

> [!NOTE]
> If you don't see any alert rules on the Rules page, change the **Status** field to **Disabled** to show disabled alerts.
4. When you remove the alert rules, you must remove the action group created for Start/Stop VMs during off-hours notifications. In the Azure portal, select **Monitor** > **Alerts** > **Manage action groups**.
5. Select **StartStop_VM_Notification**.
6. On the action group page, select **Delete**.

If you prefer, you can delete your action group by using the [Remove-AzActionGroup](/powershell/module/az.monitor/remove-azactiongroup) cmdlet:
