# Delete the context

`DELETE /context-api/v2/projects/{projectId}/contexts/{contextUid}`

Deletes the context metadata and the content.
All linked context resources (e.g. CSS, images, and fonts) will also eventually be cleaned up if no other context has them linked.
As well, bindings of this context to strings are removed, and strings are marked as having no context.
