# Remove Bad Endpoints

Akto gives user options to ignore the static files endpoints or endpoints having default payloads.This documentation is essential for users looking to maintain a clean and efficient endpoint inventory in their Akto setup.\
We have two methods for removing bad endpoints from your inventory:

1. [Select file type](#selecting-static-endpoints-file-type)
2. [Add default payloads](#adding-default-payloads)

## Ways to remove bad endpoints in Akto

### Selecting static endpoints file type

1. Navigate to `Settings`. Then open `About` tab in the left nav.
2. Click on the `Select redundant url types` button in `More settings` section on the page.

3. Select the `File types` which you want to ignore and akto will ignore those endpoints from the future. You can also remove some default types we ignore.

### Adding default payloads

1. Navigate to `Settings`. Then open `Default payloads` tab in the left nav.
2. Click on `Add your own` and then enter the domain name of the urls you want to ignore.

3. After adding domain name, `enter the regex` for response payload.

4. Now akto will ignore urls in which response payload matches the above regex.

5. On re-uploading the Traffic via Har, we observer the api was ignored and thus was not stored in the inventory.
