# Delete a Fax

`DELETE /Accounts/{AccountSid}/Faxes/{Sid}`

Deletes a managed fax by SID. A fax cannot be deleted while it is processing, sending, or receiving; cancel a still-queued fax first when appropriate. This removes the fax resource, while [Fax logs](/docs/apis/rest/fax-logs/list-fax-logs) provide the read-only historical view.
