```ts
function delete(oauthApplicationId: string): Promise<DeletedObjectResource>
```

## Parameters

| Name               | Type   | Description                                |
| ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| oauthApplicationId | string | The ID of the OAuth application to delete. |

## Example

> Using `clerkClient` varies based on the SDK you're using. Refer to the [overview](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md) for usage details, including guidance on [how to access the `userId` and other properties](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md#example-get-the-user-id-and-other-properties).

```tsx
const oauthApplicationId = 'oauthapp_123'

const response = await clerkClient.oauthApplications.delete(oauthApplicationId)
```

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint `DELETE/oauth_applications/{oauth_application_id}`. See the [BAPI reference](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/oauth-applications/DELETE/oauth_applications/%7Boauth_application_id%7D){{ target: '_blank' }} for more information.
