I am monitoring linux box using Nagios XI. but /disk usage & there are othre few services I am getting an error Unknown.
And more strange is i dont see those services in CCM. If I could get i can delte those. is there any other way to delete them.

When I am trying to delete them from dashboard.

Could not find a unique id for this service
Service cannot be deleted using this method

One or more errors were detected that prevent the service from being deleted.

Possible causes include...

The service is associated with other hosts, services, or objects that need to be deleted first
The service is generated by an advanced monitoring configuration entry
The service is maintained in a static or external configuration file
To resolve this issue...

Use the Nagios Core Configuration Manager to delete the service - or -
Manually delete the service definition from the appropriate external configuration file

Sounds like a Ghost Host Service:

Should just need to delete the service config file.
