# eth\_uninstallFilter

Uninstalls a filter with given id. Should always be called when watch is no longer needed. Additionally Filters timeout when they aren't requested with [eth\_getFilterChanges](/node-rpc/ethereum-api-endpoints/eth_getfilterchanges.md) for a period of time.

## **Parameters**

QUANTITY - the filter id.

## Returns

`Boolean` - `true` if the filter was successfully uninstalled, otherwise `false`.

## Example

*NOTE:* In this example we are using public Ethereum endpoint. Ideally, for your own projects, you should use your own endpoint, which you can generate for free by connecting to your wallet [here](https://www.noderpc.xyz/).

{% tab title="ethers" %}

### Query

*NOTE:* `ethers` used below is a well-known web3 library, check it out [here](https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/).

```javascript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider =
  new ethers
    .providers
    .JsonRpcProvider("https://www.noderpc.xyz/rpc-mainnet/public")

const logs = async ()=> {
  const result = await provider.send("eth_uninstallFilter", ["0x0700000000000000f9383206a08e58ea"]);
  console.log(result);
}
logs();
```

### Result
