# Deletes the signature for one or more captive recipient records.

`DELETE /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/captive_recipients/{recipientPart}`

This method deletes the signature for one or more captive recipient records. It is primarily used for testing. This functionality provides a way to reset the signature associated with a client user ID so that a new signature can be created the next time the client user ID is used.

## Path parameters

- `accountId` string, required
- `recipientPart` string, required

## Request body

- CaptiveRecipientInformation — Contains information about captive (embedded) recipients.
  - `captiveRecipients` CaptiveRecipient[] — A complex type containing information about one or more captive recipients.
    - `clientUserId` string — Specifies whether the recipient is embedded or remote. If the `clientUserId` property is not null then the recipient is embedded. Use this field to associate the signer with their userId in your app. Authenticating the user is the responsibility of your app when you use embedded signing. If the `clientUserId` property is set and either `SignerMustHaveAccount` or `SignerMustLoginToSign` property of the account settings is set to **true,** an error is generated on sending. **Note:** This property is not returned by the [listStatusChanges](/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/envelopes/liststatuschanges/) endpoint. Maximum length: 100 characters.
    - `email` string — The email address associated with the captive recipient.
    - `errorDetails` ErrorDetails — This object describes errors that occur. It is only valid for responses and ignored in requests.
      - `errorCode` string — The code associated with the error condition.
      - `message` string — A brief message describing the error condition.
    - `userName` string — The username associated with the captive recipient.

## Response `200`

Successful response.

## Other responses
