--- title: "Delete points" method: POST path: "/collections/{collection_name}/points/delete" tags: ["Points"] --- # Delete points `POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/delete` Delete points ## Path parameters - `collection_name` string, required ## Query parameters - `wait` boolean - `ordering` 'weak' | 'medium' | 'strong' — Defines write ordering guarantees for collection operations * `weak` - write operations may be reordered, works faster, default * `medium` - write operations go through dynamically selected leader, may be inconsistent for a short period of time in case of leader change * `strong` - Write operations go through the permanent leader, consistent, but may be unavailable if leader is down ## Request body -
