# Delete a metric variant

`DELETE /v1/metric/definitions/{idOrSlug}/variants/{variantId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.roark.ai`
- URL: `https://api.roark.ai/v1/metric/definitions/{idOrSlug}/variants/{variantId}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Remove one of your organization’s variants. Anything pinned to it falls back to the Default, so
deleting a fork of a Roark variant returns you to Roark’s configuration.

Roark’s own variants cannot be deleted, and neither can a Default. Values already collected under
the deleted variant are retained.

## Path parameters

- `idOrSlug` string, required
- `variantId` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`
