# Delete Single Document

<Aside>
If you need to delete more than one document, it is best practice to use the [bulk API](/vault-api/api-reference/25.3/documents/delete-documents/delete-multiple-documents).
</Aside>

Delete all versions of a document, including all source files and viewable renditions.
