page_title: kv delete - Command
description: |-
The "kv delete" command disables a secrets engine at a given PATH. The
argument corresponds to the enabled PATH of the engine, not the TYPE! All
secrets created by this engine are revoked and its Vault data is removed.
---
# kv delete
The `kv delete` command deletes the data for the provided path in
the key/value secrets engine. If using K/V Version 2, its versioned data will
not be fully removed, but marked as deleted and will no longer be returned in
normal get requests.
## Examples
Delete the latest version of the key "creds":
```shell-session
$ vault kv delete secret/creds
Success! Data deleted (if it existed) at: secret/creds
```
**[K/V Version 2]** Delete version 11 of key "creds":
```shell-session
$ vault kv delete -versions=11 secret/creds
Success! Data deleted (if it existed) at: secret/creds
```
## Usage
There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/docs/commands)
included on all commands.
### Command Options
- `-versions` `([]int: <required>)` - The versions to be deleted. The versioned
data will not be deleted, but it will no longer be returned in normal get
requests.
~> **NOTE:** This command option is only for K/V v2.
