# delete
|
|
|
|
The `delete` command deletes secrets and configuration from Vault at the given
|
|
path (wrapper command for HTTP DELETE). The behavior of "delete" is delegated to
|
|
the backend corresponding to the given path.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Remove data in the static secrets engine:

$ vault delete secret/my-secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Uninstall an encryption key in the transit backend:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault delete transit/keys/my-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: changing the `deletion_allowed` parameter to `true` is necessary for the
|
|
key to be successfully deleted, you can read more on key parameters [here](/api-docs/secret/transit#update-key-configuration)
|
|
|
