# Delete

Description of how to delete a resource using our FHIR API.

<mark style="color:green;">`DELETE`</mark> `{base}/fhir/{type}`

Below is an example of how to use a <mark style="color:green;">`DELETE`</mark> request to remove a resource. A complete list of resources can be found by visiting the resource specifications [here](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/resourcelist.html).&#x20;
