# Delete an agent

**Step1: Prepare Your Request**

* **Endpoint:** `/agent`
* **Method:** `DELETE`
* **URL:** `https://api.talkstackai.com/agent`
* **Headers:** Include `Content-Type: application/json`.
* **Authorization:** Bearer token  or x-api-key in headers

**Step2: Create the Request Body**

* `projectId`: The id of the project in which the agent exists.
* `agentId`: The id of the agent whose details you want to delete.

```
{
    "projectId": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    "agentId": "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
}
```

**Step 3: Send the Request**

Use your preferred HTTP client to send the DELETE request with the JSON body.

**Step 4: Handle the request**

The response will show status of the deletion.

**Success Response:**

* **Status Code:** `200 OK`
* **Body:** The response includes details like name, projectId, systemInstruction, id, and phoneNumber.

```
{
    "message": "Agent Deleted",
    "status": "success"
}
```

**Troubleshooting**

* `400 Bad Request`: If the `projectId` or `agentId` is missing in the request.
* `404 Not Found`: If the agent is not found.
* `500 Internal Server Error`: For errors in updating the agent details.
