Note

Importing clerkClient varies based on your framework. Refer to the JS Backend SDK overview for usage details, including guidance on how to access the userId and other properties.

const userId = 'user_123'

const response = await clerkClient.users.deleteUserBackupCodes(userId)

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint DELETE/users/{user_id}/backup_code. See the BAPI reference for more information.
