# Delete Alias

`DELETE /v1/aliases/{name}`

Delete a stored alias in one scope.

Scoped by ``user_id`` for the same reason the upsert is: deleting the global
alias must not take a user's override with it, and deleting an override must
leave the global one serving everyone else.

## Path parameters

- `name` string, required

## Query parameters

- `user_id` string, nullable — Delete the alias scoped to this user. Omit to delete the global alias of that name.

## Response `204`

Successful Response

## Other responses
