2. Navigate to Lifecycle → VCF Management → Components → Click on 3 vertical dots → Click Delete 

Note: Do not delete tasks via Request Controller API as deletion of component is dependent on the existence of a task.

If in the event you delete the task you may find that the deletion of the failed VCF Operations for Logs component deployment completes, however component remains in Integrated components page.  To resolve this you will need to:

1. Create a dummy request in Fleet Manager using the Request Controller Post API call .  You can use this KB as a guide to access Fleet Manager API How to Authorize VCF Operations Fleet Management API
2. Once the task is recreated you can delete the component by Navigating to Lifecycle → VCF Management → Components → Click on 3 vertical dots → Click Delete
