## About

Remove credentials from the access control list of the specified device. The credentials are not removed from the device until a [Sync Device Credentials](docId\:L7Ik_rA1wcy3PhHm0fWQS) call is initiated.

:::hint{type="info"}
To delete all credentials currently on a device without having to specify each credential, simply send a [Modify Device Credentials](docId\:J3NcV3RiuIbv506_jobzd) command with an empty array.
:::

:::hint{type="warning"}
Certain programming languages, like Java, may not be able to send a DELETE with a body. If you find this to be the case, simply use the PATCH verb instead of DELETE when deleting credentials.
