# POST /api/bom-lines/delete

`POST /api/bom-lines/delete`

Remove components from a BOM. `styleId` here is the product whose BOM is being edited (the owning product, not the component) — the same role `entity` plays on create and update. Deleting through a product that only inherits the BOM forks a private copy first, leaving the parent untouched.

## Request body

- object
  - `bomLineIds` string[], required
  - `styleId` string, required — The product whose BOM you are deleting from (the owning product, not the component) — either the Retraced ID or your own externalId. Deleting through a product that only inherits the BOM forks a private copy first, so the parent keeps its lines.

## Response `200`
