# Delete credential

> **DELETE** `https://api.us.nylas.com/v3/connectors/{provider}/creds/{id}`

Source: https://developer.nylas.com/docs/reference/api/connector-credentials/delete_credential_by_id/

Deletes the credential with the specified ID. You can't delete a connector's default (active) credential, only a non-default one. Any grants that use the deleted credential stop working right away.
