# Delete template by name and language

`DELETE /v1/projects/{projectId}/whatsapp/templates/{templateName}/languages/{languageCode}`

Delete a template by name and language.
      
      Please note that by default only draft is removed. Use query parameter `deleteSubmitted=true` to also remove the submitted template.
      Once an approved template is deleted, the template cannot be recreated again with this name and language for 30 days. Consequently, be aware that you must use a different name to create template for this language within this 30 days long period.
      If you need the template in this language soon, update the submitted template for a specific language instead of trying to delete and recreate it again.
