# Delete a playlist by ID

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

This endpoint allows you to delete an existing playlist from the workspace. After deleted, the playlist and its metadata are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
#### How it works
 - When a user sends a DELETE request to this endpoint with the `playlistId`, FastPix removes the specified playlist from the workspace and returns a confirmation of successful deletion.

#### Example
An e-learning platform deletes an outdated playlist titled "Old Python Tutorials" by providing its unique playlist ID. The platform receives confirmation that the playlist has been removed, ensuring learners no longer see the obsolete content.
