# Delete a registration attachment

`DELETE /v1/compliance/attachments/{attachment_id}`

Deletes an uploaded registration attachment. This succeeds only while the file is unused. After a registration cites the attachment, it is retained as evidence and the request returns `409`.

## Code samples

**TypeScript**

```ts
// Once a registration cites the attachment, this returns a 409.
await bird.complianceAttachments.delete("tca_01krdgeqcxet5s7t44vh8rt9mg");
```
