# 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.

However, no properties need to be defined for the instance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

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.
