# Delete a job

> DELETE /dn/jobs/delete?do_number={} removes a single job by DO number. Returns 204 No Content on success.

Use the Delete Job endpoint to permanently remove a single job. You must provide the job `do_number`. You can optionally include `date` and `type` to ensure the correct job is deleted.

See also [Retrieve job](/api-reference/jobs/retrieve), [Update job](/api-reference/jobs/update), and [List jobs](/api-reference/jobs/list).
