Hi there HoopRef,


If you are trying to disable or delete a certain focus, follow these steps from Turn on or schedule a Focus on iPhone:

Turn off a Focus
When you’re finished using a Focus, you can quickly turn it off to allow notifications again. After you turn off a Focus, it still appears in Control Center and can be reused.
1. Do any of the following:
* Touch and hold the Focus icon on the Lock Screen.
* Open Control Center, then tap Focus.
2. Tap the Focus that’s on to turn it off.

Turn a Focus on or off using Siri
You can use Siri to turn a Focus on or off.
Siri: Say something like: â€śTurn on the Work Focus,” or â€śTurn off the Work Focus.” Learn how to use Siri.

Delete a Focus
When you no longer need a Focus you set up, you can delete it.
1. Go to Settings  > Focus.
2. Tap the Focus, scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap Delete Focus.
If you delete a provided Focus, you need to set it up again by going to Settings > Focus, then tapping the Add button.


If you are trying to accomplish something else, please provide more details so that we can continue to assist.


Cheers!
