# Delete Voice

DELETE https://api.sarvam.ai/voices/delete/{voice_id}

Deletes a cloned voice: its audio assets are removed and the voice is no longer listed or usable for synthesis. This frees a slot against your subscription tier's voice limit.

**Base URL:** `https://api.sarvam.ai`.
**Auth:** send your key in the `api-subscription-key` header. Returns `204 No Content` on success.
