The data displayed on the dashboard is not real-time and there will be a delay between your session closing, and the session showing as closed on the dashboard. For an accurate picture of which sessions are currently active, you can use the [LiveKit CLI](https://docs.livekit.io/intro/basics/cli/), lk room list , which will return a list of active sessions.

Regarding:

> The Delete Room API is also not able to remove this room.
