I found no per-Bot usage view in the Grok Bot docs. Here's how to spot a Bot you don't use, and when to hide it and when to delete it.

I didn't find anything in the Grok Bot docs about usage per Bot, only your total, so you spot an unused Bot by what it still does. Hide a Bot if you may need its work later, and delete it only when you're sure. I checked xAI's Grok Bot docs on creating and managing Bots, and they say, "If you may need the work later, hide the Bot instead."
Hiding doesn't pause a Bot's routines, so pause those first if you want the Bot to stop using usage. Deleting removes the Bot's profile, conversation and routines, and it can't be undone.
I didn't find a per-Bot usage view in the Grok Bot docs. You see your total in Settings > Usage & Billing, and I wrote up where to look in How do I see which bot or task used my usage?.
So the practical test is what each Bot still does. Click the Bot's name at the top of its chat to open its details, then find Routines. Each row shows the routine's name and when it runs, or Paused. On your phone, a routine's Run history shows each recent run as Running, Succeeded, or Failed. A Bot with no routines you need and no chats you've opened in a while is a good candidate, and so is a Bot whose routines only fail.
It's worth the look. Each run of a routine spends usage, and a routine that never runs doesn't spend any. xAI's docs also recommend starting with the smallest useful roster, so a short list of Bots with clear jobs is a good place to end up.
Hiding a Bot doesn't pause the Bot or its routines, so a hidden Bot can keep running on its schedule and keep spending usage. To stop a routine, open the Bot's details, find Routines, and use the switch on the row to pause or resume it. On your phone, open the Bot's profile, find Routines, tap the routine and turn off Active. If your weekly usage is running out faster than you expect, Cursor's routines page says to pause the routines you don't need.
Hide from sidebar removes a Bot from the main list without deleting its work. It's the right choice for any Bot you may need later. To bring one back, open Hidden Bots at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Show in sidebar from the Bot's menu. The full steps, including iPhone and Android, are in How do I hide a Bot from the sidebar without deleting it?.
If a Bot looks missing after you tidy up, check Hidden Bots first. Cursor's Grok Bot FAQ says missing chats and Bots are usually not deleted.
On desktop, right-click the Bot in the sidebar and choose Delete. I didn't find a documented way to delete a Bot from the phone. Deleting removes the Bot's profile, conversation and routines from Grok Bot. Cursor's help page adds that it also erases the Bot's memory and attachments, including the shared facts it saved for your other Bots, and that it can't be undone.
Files and sign-ins on the shared computer aren't isolated by Bot, so they may stay there. Clean those up separately. And if there's any chance you'll want the work later, hide the Bot instead.
This part is my own setup, not something the docs describe. I use Brian Roemmele's Mission Control template, which I added to Grok Bot, to look over my other Bots. He posts about it on X. I wrote about that template in the usage page linked above.
Mission Control audits every Bot once a day, marks each one green, yellow or red, and sends a short summary to the Bot that coordinates my other Bots. Its savings ideas are only proposals, and none is applied until I say yes.
What came out of it is small. I deleted four Bots that shared a name with another digest Bot, and kept one. Separately, my coordinating Bot removed a weekday routine that two Bots were both running, and paused two routines after their connection kept failing to sign in. I haven't measured any token or usage savings from these, and the usage readings I have don't show an effect, so I'm not claiming one.
It's been wrong too. It once flagged a duplicate routine that had already been deleted, because it read a leftover file instead of the Bot's live routine list. It also marked one Bot red because it couldn't find that Bot's routine files, and that Bot may well have been working, so it now counts it as unverified. When those were pointed out, it corrected both and saved a rule not to trust routine files on their own. Another time I asked what source backed one of its tips, and it said it had none and withdrew the tip.
So I treat its list as a place to start looking, not a to-do list. Before anything is hidden, paused or deleted, the Bot's own routine list gets checked first. It's one setup that works for me, it isn't a Grok Bot feature, and its usage forecasts are estimates, so check them against Settings > Usage & Billing.

Hide from sidebar removes a Bot from the main list without deleting its work.
Hiding does not pause the Bot or its routines.
Open Hidden Bots at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Show in sidebar from the Bot's menu.
Deleting a Bot removes its active profile, conversation, and routines from Grok Bot.
Shared computer files and sign-ins are not isolated by Bot and may remain on the computer.
If you may need the work later, hide the Bot instead.
Cursor Help, What your Bot remembers: https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/memory
To delete a Bot, right-click it in the sidebar and choose Delete. This erases its conversations, memory, routines, and attachments, including the shared facts it saved for your other Bots. It can't be undone.
Cursor Help, Routines: https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines
Click the Bot's name at the top of the chat to open its details.
Each row shows the routine's name and when it runs, or Paused.
Use the switch on the row to pause or resume it.
On the phone, open the Bot's profile and find Routines.
Turn off Active to pause the routine.
On the phone, Run history shows each recent run as Running, Succeeded, or Failed.
Each run spends usage, so a routine that runs often spends more than one that runs rarely.
A routine that never runs doesn't spend usage.
If your Weekly usage limit is running out faster than you expect, pause routines you don't need.

Grok Bot usage lives on your Cursor account. See it in Grok Bot under Settings > Usage & Billing, not in the Grok app.
My chats or Bots are missing. They are usually not deleted.
