# Deleting Files

Deleting files from Pinata is simple and easy!

## Deleting Programatically

The SDK has a very simple [delete](/sdk/files/public/delete) method that will allow you to delete an array of files by `id`. Alternatively you can delete a single file with the [API](/api-reference/introduction).

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript SDK theme={null}
  import { PinataSDK } from "pinata";

  const pinata = new PinataSDK({
    pinataJwt: process.env.PINATA_JWT!,
    pinataGateway: "example-gateway.mypinata.cloud",
  });

  const unpin = await pinata.files.public.delete([
    "3c52f1b8-11b1-40d9-849d-5f05a4bbd76d",
    "b72886db-9dd4-434c-a1b2-f9d36781ecee"
  ])
  ```

  ```typescript API {6,9,11} theme={null}
  const JWT = "YOUR_PINATA_JWT";

  async function delete() {
    try {

      const fileId = "e0b102e9-d481-4192-ab44-b8f7ff010e9a"

      const request = await fetch(
        `https://api.pinata.cloud/v3/files/public/${fileId}`,
      {
        method: "DELETE",
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${JWT}`,
        }
      });
      const response = await request.json();
      console.log(response);
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Deleting All Files

If you find yourself in a position where you need to delete most or all of your files you can use the [Auto Paginate](/sdk/files/public/list#auto-paginate) feature on the SDK to fetch all the IDs of your files and delete them in a few lines of code!

```typescript theme={null}
import { PinataSDK } from "pinata";

const pinata = new PinataSDK({
	pinataJwt: process.env.PINATA_JWT!,
	pinataGateway: "dweb.mypinata.cloud",
});

async function main() {
	try {
		let files = [];
		for await (const item of pinata.files.public.list()) {
			files.push(item.id);
		}
		const res = await pinata.files.public.delete(files);
	} catch (error) {
		console.log(error);
	}
}

main();
```

## Deleting by Web App
