# Delete default system action binding by action id

`DELETE /api/v1/workflow/system/actions/{identifier}`

Deletes a [default system action](https://www.dotcms.com/docs/latest/managing-workflows#DefaultActions) binding.

Returns the deleted system action object.

This method is minimally destructive, as it neither deletes a [workflow action](https://www.dotcms.com/docs/latest/managing-workflows#Actions), nor removes any system action category. Instead, it dissolves the association between the two, which can be re-established any time.

To find a suitable identifier, you can use `GET /system/actions/{workflowActionId}` and find it in the immediate `identifier` property of any of the objects returned in the entity.

## Path parameters

- `identifier` string, required
