Hi 🙂  
Have a look :

root@myserver-008:/var/log/nginx# cscli decisions delete -r 163.116.163.0/24
INFO[12-04-2022 11:41:33 AM] 0 decision(s) deleted                        
root@myserver-008:/var/log/nginx# 

```

Seems clearly a bug. If I try to delete the Ip one by one, it works

```auto
root@myserver-008:/var/log/nginx# cscli decisions delete -i 163.116.163.114
INFO[12-04-2022 11:44:15 AM] 1 decision(s) deleted                        
root@myserver-008:/var/log/nginx#

```

Crowdsec 1.3.0 on Ubuntu

Thanks

Hello,

To delete decisions from range, you must use the `--contained` flag.  
For your case, `cscli decisions delete -r 163.116.163.0/24 --contained` should works.

Hi !  
Yes it should work, but I don’t understand the --contained flag.

As a “simple user”, I just would like to delete the decisions on a range, why should I have to specify this ?

Hello,

Indeed, this is not very user friendly. We are going to invert this behavior in the next release.
