# Delete an Apple Messages for Business routing rule

`DELETE /v1/amb/routing-rules/{routing_rule_id}`

Deletes a routing rule. A conversation already routed by it keeps its queue; only newly created or reopened conversations stop matching it. Deleting a business's default rule leaves it with none, so unmatched conversations route to an empty queue until you create another.

## Code samples

**TypeScript**

```ts
const result = await bird.amb.routingRules.delete(
  "arr_01krdgeqcxet5s7t44vh8rt9mg",
);
console.log(result);
```
