# Step 4: delete a recipient

You can delete existing recipients from your account when they're no longer needed. You probably don't need the test recipient we added earlier, so let's remove them.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Sandbox theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE \
    'https://api-sandbox.equalsmoney.com/v2/recipients/{recipientId}?accountId={accountId}' \
    -H 'Authorization: ApiKey {apiKey}'
  ```

  ```bash Production theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE \
    'https://api.equalsmoney.com/v2/recipients/{recipientId}?accountId={accountId}' \
    -H 'Authorization: ApiKey {apiKey}'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If your request is successful, you'll receive a `200` response and a `RecipientDeleted` webhook.

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": true
}
```
