# Delete a media by ID

DELETE https://api.fastpix.com/v1/on-demand/{mediaId}

This endpoint allows you to permanently delete a a specific video or audio media file along with all associated data. If you wish to remove a media from FastPix storage, use this endpoint with the `mediaId` (either `uploadId` or `id`) received during the media's creation or upload.

#### How it works

1. Send a DELETE request to this endpoint. Replace `<mediaId>` with the `uploadId` or the `id` of the media you want to delete.

2. This action is irreversible. Make sure you no longer need the media before proceeding. Once deleted, the media can’t be retrieved or played back.

3. Monitor the following webhook event: video.media.deleted

#### Example

A user on a video-sharing platform decides to remove an old video from their profile, or suppose you're running a content moderation system, and one of the videos uploaded by a user violates your platform's policies. Using this endpoint, the media is permanently deleted from your library, ensuring it's no longer accessible or viewable by other users.
