# Delete a version

> Retire an old API version once consumers have moved off it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the version">
    Open the destination and switch to the version you want to remove.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the header menu">
    Click **⋮** next to **Publish**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete it">
    Select **Delete version** and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deleting a version takes its URL out of service immediately. Any consumer still calling `.../v{number}` starts failing — confirm they have moved before you delete.
</Warning>

Deleting the only remaining version deletes the destination, and Studio returns you to the destinations listing.

<Info>
  Deletion is not instant: the version passes through **Deleting** while it is torn down. Deleted versions stop counting toward the environment's destination totals and disappear from Dashboard traffic figures.
</Info>

Keeping old versions is not free — see the note on version count in [Create a version](/guides/studio/destinations/create-a-version).
