# Delete Skill Version

`DeletedSkillVersion skills().versions().delete(params, requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())`

**DELETE** `/v1/skills/{skill_id}/versions/{version}`

Delete Skill Version

## Parameters

- `VersionDeleteParams params`

  - `String skillId` (path parameter)

    Unique identifier for the skill.

    The format and length of IDs may change over time.

  - `Optional<String> version` (path parameter)

    Identifies the skill version by its version ID.

    Requests carrying the `skills-2025-10-02` beta header address versions by their Unix epoch timestamp instead (e.g., "1759178010641129").

  - `Optional<String> workspaceId` (header parameter)

    Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

    Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

## Returns

- `class DeletedSkillVersion`

  - `JsonValue type = "skill_version_deleted"`

    Deleted object type.

    For Skill Versions, this is always `"skill_version_deleted"`.

  - `String id`

    Unique identifier for this Skill Version. The id addresses the version in
    paths and pins it in references.

## Example

```java
package com.anthropic.example;

import com.anthropic.client.AnthropicClient;
import com.anthropic.client.okhttp.AnthropicOkHttpClient;

public final class Main {
    private Main() {}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnthropicClient client = AnthropicOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

        VersionDeleteParams params = VersionDeleteParams.builder()
            .skillId("skill_id")
            .version("version")
            .build();
        DeletedSkillVersion deletedSkillVersion = client.skills().versions().delete(params);
    }
}
```
