# DELETE - Remove

The App Data API enables you to create, update, delete and list data you associated to your application. **App Data** lets you create **tables** of key/value pairs. It is for **application** centric data as opposed to **user** centric data. You can use the data in your targeting queries and/or in a message template.

### Request structure

#### Route

The App Data API exposes a DELETE endpoint that allows to delete a **table**:

`https://api.batch.com/1.0/BATCH_API_KEY/app-data/TABLE_NAME`

Here is a valid cURL example:

```bash
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Authorization: BATCH_REST_API_KEY" -X DELETE "https://api.batch.com/1.0/BATCH_API_KEY/app-data/TABLE_NAME"
```

The `TABLE_NAME` value must be a string that only contains letters, numbers or the following characters: `_`, `-`.

**NOTE**: Make sure before deletion that this App Data table is not used by any campaign.

The `BATCH_API_KEY` value is either your **Live**, **Dev** or **SDK** Batch API key from the settings page of your app within the dashboard (⚙ Settings → General).

#### Headers

In order to authenticate with the API, you need to provide your **company REST API Key** as the value of the `X-Authorization` header. You can find it in ⚙ Settings → General.

### Responses

#### Success

If the call to the API endpoint is successful you will receive an **HTTP 200** confirmation and an empty json payload.

#### Failure

If the POST data does not meet the API requirements you will receive an actionable error message. Contact us at <support@batch.com> if you need further support.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.batch.com/developer/api/mep/app-data/remove.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
