# Delete a script

To delete an individual script in a realm, perform an HTTP DELETE using the `/json{/realm}/scripts` endpoint, specifying the UUID in the URL.

|   |                                                                        |
| - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | If the realm is not specified in the URL, AM uses the top level realm. |

The `iPlanetDirectoryPro` header is required and should contain the SSO token of an administrative user, such as `amAdmin`, who has access to perform the operation.

```bash
$ curl \
--request DELETE \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5…​" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.1" \

{}
```
