# delete rows

`DELETE /datasets/{id}/rows`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.riveterhq.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.riveterhq.com/v1/datasets/{id}/rows`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Remove up to 100 rows by id (`ids`, comma-separated `row_...`) and / or by position (`positions`, comma-separated integers from 1). Positions of the other rows do not change. Unknown ids or positions are a 422; nothing is deleted then.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `ids` string
- `positions` string

## Response `200`

Rows deleted

- object
  - `deleted` integer
  - `row_count` integer

## Other responses

- `400`: The request is malformed or names a conflicting parameter combination
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key (`request_status` body — see the AuthError schema)
- `403`: The API key's account may not access this resource or endpoint (`forbidden`), or the account has not migrated to Datasets yet (`feature_not_enabled` — open Datasets in the app and click "Migrate to Datasets")
- `404`: No resource with that id on this account
- `422`: The request is valid but can't be executed (e.g. insufficient_credits, credit_cap_exceeded when max_credits is set, validation failure)
