You can remove the CloudWatch Logs log group as a delivery endpoint by running the [**update-trail**](cloudtrail-create-and-update-a-trail-by-using-the-aws-cli-update-trail.md) command. The following command clears the log group and role from the trail configuration by replacing the values for the log group ARN and CloudWatch Logs role ARN with empty values.

```
aws cloudtrail update-trail --name trail_name --cloud-watch-logs-log-group-arn="" --cloud-watch-logs-role-arn=""
```
