## 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 waitlistId = 'waitlist_123'

const response = await clerkClient.waitlistEntries.delete(waitlistId)
```

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

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