# Delete a Subscriber List
Deletes a subscriber list. This action doesn't delete the subscribers on that list. When a list is deleted, no further sends can be conducted with that list.
When you delete a subscriber list, your account also loses all tracking information related to that subscriber list. For this reason, we recommend leaving lists intact and creating new lists via new opt-in procedures.
Use thesee code examples to construct your own API calls.

public partial class ListDelete : System.Web.UI.Page
{
//Global Variables
private SoapClient client = new SoapClient();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Authenticate
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["wsUserName"];
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["wsPassword"];
if (!IsPostBack)
{
}
}
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//Create List object [Subscribers > My Subscribers > My Lists]
List l = new List();
l.ID = 1007548;//required
l.IDSpecified = true;
try
{
string dRequestID = String.Empty;
string dStatus = String.Empty;
//Call the Delete method on the List object
DeleteResult[] dResults = client.Delete(new DeleteOptions(), new APIObject[] { l }, out dRequestID, out dStatus);
//Display Results
lblMessage.Text += "Overall Status: " + dStatus;
lblMessage.Text += "
";
lblMessage.Text += "Number of Results: " + dResults.Length;
lblMessage.Text += "
";
//Loop through each object returned and display the StatusMessage
foreach (DeleteResult ur in dResults)
{
lblMessage.Text += "Status Message: " + ur.StatusMessage;
lblMessage.Text += "
";
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Set Message
lblMessage.Text += "
UPDATE ERROR:
" + ex.Message;
}
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
//Set Message
lblMessage.Text += "
###ERROR
