# Delete an Issue Attachment

Use the REST API to delete a specific attachment from an issue.

## Summary

To delete an attachment from an issue:

1. Get the target issue ID.

2. Get the ID of the attachment that you want to delete.

3. Send a `DELETE` request to `/api/issues/{issueID}/attachments/{attachmentID}`.

## Step-by-Step

Procedure:

1. First, get the issue attachments so you can identify the target attachment:

```CURL
curl -X GET \
'https://example.youtrack.cloud/api/issues/99-500/attachments?fields=id,name' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <YouTrack_token>'
```

2. Suppose the response contains an attachment with ID `134-31`.

3. To delete this attachment, send the following request:

```CURL
curl -X DELETE \
'https://example.youtrack.cloud/api/issues/99-500/attachments/134-31' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <YouTrack_token>' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache'
```

If the request succeeds, the attachment is removed from the issue.
