# Delete

Delete objects individually or in batches. You can delete multiple object types in a request. The API deletes objects in the order they appear in the `APIObject` array.

## Parameters

| Name            | Data Type                                  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Objects`       | Array of [APIObject](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/apiobject.md) objects | A collection of one or more objects to delete. The objects are deleted in the order they have been acted upon: first in, first out. This array can hold different object types, which allows you to perform complex interactions like deleting an account and two emails, in one call.                                                                                                                                                              |
| `Options`       | [DeleteOptions](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/deleteoptions.md) object   | Optionally specifies [more processing options](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/deleteoptions.md). A DeleteOptions instance is required for this parameter. However, no properties need to be defined for the instance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `OverallStatus` | String                                     | Specifies the overall status of the request. Valid status values include:<ul><li>OK - This status code states that all objects were successfully deleted.</li><li>Has Error - Valid for Delete method calls with multiple APIObject objects, this status code states that some of the operations failed, while some succeeded.</li><li>Error - This status code states that all delete operations failed during validation or processing.</li></ul> |
| `RequestID`     | String                                     | A unique identifier for the request. This string contains an output variable of the key of the request.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
