# Delete owner

`DELETE /owners/{ownerId}`

> **Important:** You can't delete an owner of a processing account. 

Use this method to delete an owner associated with a funding recipient. You can delete an owner only if the funding recipient has more than one owner.  

To delete an owner, you need their ownerId. Our gateway returned the ownerId in the response of the [Create Funding Recipient](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/create) method and the [Create Funding Recipient Owner](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/create-owner) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the ownerId, use the [List Funding Recipient Owners](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/list-owners) method, the [Retrieve Funding Recipient](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/retrieve) method, or the [List Funding Recipients](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/funding/funding-recipients/list) method to search for the funding recipient owner.
