# Deleting a Presentation

The **SlidesGPT API** allows you to delete a generated presentation permanently. Once deleted, the presentation cannot be recovered.

### Request Example

Send a `DELETE` request to:

```
https://api.slidesgpt.com/v1/presentations/{id}
```

#### Sample Code (cURL)

```sh theme={null}
curl -X DELETE "https://api.slidesgpt.com/v1/presentations/12345" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

#### Sample Code (JavaScript)

```js theme={null}
async function deletePresentation(id) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}/presentations/${id}`, {
      method: "DELETE",
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
    });
    if (response.ok) console.log("Presentation deleted successfully.");
    else console.error("Failed to delete presentation.");
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}
```

> **Note:** You must include your API key in the `Authorization` header. If you don’t have one, follow the steps in the [Authentication Guide](/getting-started/authentication) to get your API key.

Use this API call carefully, as deletions are **irreversible**.
