# Crossmint keys delete

> Delete an API key

The keys delete command allows you to delete an existing API key from your Crossmint project.

To use it, run the following command from your terminal

```bash theme={null}
crossmint keys delete <key-id>
```

Where `<key-id>` is the ID of the API key you want to delete.
You can get the key id by running `keys list` command

## Example

Delete an API key:

```bash theme={null}
crossmint keys delete sk_test_abcd1234
```

You will be prompted to confirm the deletion:

```
? Are you sure you want to delete this API key? This action cannot be undone. (y/N)
```

After confirming, you'll see a success message:

```
✅ API Key deleted successfully!
```

**Note:** Once an API key is deleted, any applications or services using that key will no longer be able to authenticate with the Crossmint API.
