# `bird esim install-links delete`

## Usage

```bash
bird esim install-links delete <esim-id> <install-link-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Revoke a hosted install link so its url stops installing the eSIM. Use it when a link went to the wrong person. Already-revoked and expired links succeed. Requires the esim\_credentials scope.

This is destructive and cannot be undone; pass --yes to confirm.

## Examples

```bash
bird esim install-links delete <esim-id> <install-link-id> --yes
```

| `--idempotency-key` | Deduplication key; a retry with the same key won't act twice   |
| `--yes`             | Confirm a destructive action (required; the CLI never prompts) |
