## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_syscollector_delete_collection_set [[ @collection_set_id = ] collection_set_id OUTPUT ]  
    , [[ @name = ] 'name' ]  
```  
  
## Arguments  
 [ @collection_set_id = ] *collection_set_id*  
 Is the unique identifier for the collection set. *collection_set_id* is **int** and must have a value if *name* is NULL.  
  
 [ @name = ] '*name*'  
 Is the name of the collection set. *name* is **sysname** and must have a value if *collection_set_id* is NULL.  
  
## Return Code Values  
 **0** (success) or **1** (failure)  
  
## Remarks  
 sp_syscollector_delete_collection_set must be run in the context of the msdb system database.  
  
 Either *collection_set_id* or *name* must have a value, both cannot be NULL. To obtain these values, query the syscollector_collection_set system view.  
  
 System-defined collection sets cannot be deleted.  
  
## Permissions  
 Requires membership in the dc_admin (with EXECUTE permission) fixed database role to execute this procedure.  
  
## Examples  
 The following example deletes a user-defined collection set specifying the *collection_set_id*.  
  
```  
USE msdb;  
GO  
EXEC dbo.sp_syscollector_delete_collection_set  
    @collection_set_id = 4;  
```
