# eth\_uninstallFilter

Uninstalls a filter with given ID. Should always be called when watching is no longer needed. Additionally filters time out when they aren't requested with eth\_getFilterChanges for a period of time.

#### EXAMPLE

```bash
## JSON-RPC over HTTPS POST
#### Replace YOUR-API-KEY with an API key from your chainRPC Dashboard
## You can also replace mainnet with a different supported network
curl https://eth.chainrpc.io/v3/YOUR-API-KEY \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_uninstallFilter","params":["0x10ff0bfba9472c87932c56632eef8f5cc70910e8e71d"],"id":1}'
