# Delete External IP

`DELETE /compute/v2/thr4/workspaces/{workspaceUUID}/external-ips/{resourceId}`

Releases an external IP address. Note that this operation does not automatically detach the IP from associated 
resources (links or load balancers). You must manually detach the IP from any associated resources before deletion.

## Path parameters

- `resourceId` string, required
- `workspaceUUID` string, required

## Response `200`

The external IP address was successfully released. Before deleting, ensure you have manually detached this IP 
from any associated resources (links or load balancers), as this is not done automatically during deletion.
