# Delete a model

`DELETE /models/{model_owner}/{model_name}`

Delete a model

Model deletion has some restrictions:

- You can only delete models you own.
- You can only delete private models.
- You can only delete models that have no versions associated with them. Currently you'll need to [delete the model's versions](#models.versions.delete) before you can delete the model itself.

Example cURL request:

```command
curl -s -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" \
  https://api.replicate.com/v1/models/replicate/hello-world
```

The response will be an empty 204, indicating the model has been deleted.

## Path parameters

- `model_owner` string, required
- `model_name` string, required

## Response `204`

Success
