How to remove a Dyno on Heroku?

Question

Following is what about dashboard says regarding Dynos:

For the time being, I only need two dynos: web & resque, and I do not need the third one: worker. How can I get rid of it, or is it something default by Heroku, and I'm not allowed to remove it.

If I can't remove it, is there a way that what I'm doing on resque dyno, can I get the same results through woker dyno?

Simply remove the line that starts with "worker" in your Procfile, and do a "git push heroku master".

I have only one line in my `Procfile` that says: `esque: env TERM_CHILD=1 RESQUE_TERM_TIMEOUT=7 QUEUE=* bundle exec rake resque:work`, and nothing else I have added to this file. – Arslan Ali Aug 02 '16 at 19:07

The worker dyno type is likely being provided by your buildpack. See the output of your deployment:

remote:        Procfile declares types     -> clock, sidekiq, web
remote:        Default types for buildpack -> console, rake, worker

I believe you would have to change what buildpack you are using to remove the worker dyno type.
